January 23, 2020, 4 years ago
In an interview with The Metal Voice (listen below), Annihilator leader, Jeff Waters, talked about late Rush drummer, Neil Peart, who passed away on January 7 after a three-year battle with brain cancer (glioblastoma).
"My top three Rush songs are 'Spirit of Radio', 'Limelight' and 'Tom Sawyer'," says Waters. "Rush to me is just part of Canada, they are almost not even people, it's a religion, it's a statue, it's a feeling, it's something you are proud of. Peart was and Rush is part of Canada, when Neil Peart died a little piece of Canada died."
Annihilator will release their new album Ballistic, Sadistic, tomorrow, Friday, January 24 via Silver Lining Music.
Produced, engineered, and mixed by Jeff Waters, Ballistic, Sadistic was recorded at the brand new, state of the art Watersound Studios UK, in Durham earlier this year with additional engineering and editing by bassist Rich Hinks and mastering by Maor Appelbaum at Maor Appelbaum Mastering in California.
