+Annihilator have somehow return to shows, in a global view they are an aged band and as it seems stable way to perform ,if not to say downward way. Regards discography they have recorded through the years a lot of albums ,there is a huge amount of material for live stage action .Jeff Waters is the one in charge ,that who keeps the band to go on and in regards shows all crew acting professional and not deviant appearances or drunk incidents, all boys are counted and skilled musicians5:21 μμ 30/1/2020
+The concentration of people was big (biger than expected) specialy 'when it comes' to extrem metal genre like the "thrash" ,yes! was mutch biger .The original support band who were carrying with them Annihilator was the Archer Nation ,but still greek competents put as "makeshift" and a greek good old band the "Dreamlord" .Poor band they perform as "wholesale" for half an hour (30' minutes) since the doors were open( as it seems everybody trying to watch the big band, they choose big names brand name bands, just to be informed in the game of metal (a bad thing about Greek rock musicians is that english is not the native language , so in regards lyrics are heared with stupid accent and bad expression)
+ Then came the time of the official 'support' band ,this was a three piece original American speed /thrash, and their screamy singer dylan roseberg, the act was a typical, out loud unique profesional outfit ,from the States, nice show, nice set from Archer Nation.
+the vocals have been taken over by Jef Waters, okay, you can't say it's completely outmakes a moderately regular, decent presentation quite lyrical and quite melodic.
+Annihilator had come to Athens three years ago, so this time the current line up seems tobe temporary just for the live shows, may be i'm not sure. Of course they didn't start from the very old days but they got the discography from 2010 about there. if i remember well but according to their play list, which was spread by paparazzi later,start song was the "Betrayed", -ascertainment- all members on stage play unique and stable, then was played "Kill Off the Kill" where all moshers jamping exhaustively,in the meantime Jeff Waters stopped in every song, and checking out some comment, which was attached either to the song, or about his band's period....
+Main vocals have been taken over by Jef Waters, okay..!, you can't say it's completely outmakes some moderately regular singing, its a decent presentation quite lyrical and quite melodic, but the man is not the expert for big crowns, nor for high-pitched howls, of course most ous the purists.., when we say Annihilator we mean the times of early years with Coburn Phar. Also other different tracks and hits that were presented, like "Set The World on Fire", like "Knight Jumps Queen", or most recent tracks like "The Trend", and good old stuff ''Shizos-are never alone-", "Alison Hell", and "Phantasmagoria", and "Burns Like A Buzzsaw Blade",something like that, of course the set list might have been predetermined, but it took care to break the monotony with interventions,like some Van Halen riff i guess so , for thrash show it was quite innovative, to say things with their name, the canadians in essence, moving in the american territory (metal-market), thrashers, as good disciplined professionals followed their surname frontman to this 'tourne", they play as good as they can,and the result was satisfactory, bands fanatics have atone to death, thay were moshing for two hours.
(**)Lest we laugh, the Piraeus Academy venue is not so much a part of athens-anticulture, it's basically a glamourous doghouse, for bouzouki and dirty oriental folk guys, but, cunning organizers make sure to make easy deals with the owners and so, conveniently, to take place their extreme metal gigs to an expensive building.
