Formed in 1981, Anihilated are one of Britain's first thrash metal bands. They played a vital part in the creation of the crossover genre and influenced the development of the first wave of British thrash.

Anihilated evolved from their early Punk roots around the same time that Metallica and Slayer were breaking out in America. After inclusions on various successful compilation albums, They instinctively turned towards a much faster and metallic sound. Early gigs with their new material bemused their mainly punk audiences, as back then, most people had never seen or heard a thrash band before. However, the realisation that Anihilated had not abandoned their ethics or social conscience, maintained their credibility within the punk community and retained its full support while they continued to develop their heavier, thrash style.

In spring 1984 they finally raised the funds to disappear into the studio for a week and emerged with what became known as the 'Speedwell Sessions' which was their first actual release of Punk/Speed/ Metal/crossover. Positive reviews expanded the bands audience and after another short period of creative writing, they returned to the studio to record and release their renowned 'Path To Destruction' EP, an example of early raw, British, thrash/metal/hardcore. The EP completely sold out, even knocking Madonna off the number one spot in the East of England record charts.

Although their musical style had changed, Anihilated chose not to adopt the usual Satanic themes of metal, but decided instead, to express their punk ideals and beliefs of self empowerment and social justice. This set them apart from other bands, and drew followers from both the punk and metal scenes. Their popularity continued to grow, featuring in fanzines/magazines and bootleg recordings around the world, which secured a large international following and cult band status. The bands stand against being "styled" or pressured into compromising on their lyrical content, isolated them from the major record labels of the time, but this served to add to their credibility with the fans of the Metal underground movement.

Their first full thrash album 'Created In Hate', was described in Metal Forces Magazine as "the most important UK Thrash Metal release to date'. The band spent the next year out on the road before returning to the studio to record 'The Ultimate Desecration". This was widely regarded as their best studio album and has been deemed by Marquee Records, to be "one of the finest UK Thrash Metal releases ever".

The British economic recession of the early 1990's saw major record companies swallowing up some of the best British independent record labels whilst others withered and died. Anihilated became a casualty of the carnage and disbanded. The band remained good friends and stayed in close contact through the years that followed..

Anihilated's international fan base remained strong over the years. Japanese labels 'In Crust We Thrash' and 'Aktiva//Protesta Rekordo' re-released 'Path to destruction' on CD to great critical acclaim, with all pressings selling out. Two years later Chinese label 'Area Death Productions' released it again for the Asian market, selling it as a box set with t-shirts and various merchandise. Brazilian Label 'Marquee Records' released a run of remastered re-issues of the two full length albums. In the wake of all the positive feedback Anihilated reformed.

'Scorched Earth Policy' was hailed as "THE comback album of the year" 2010 and received superb reviews. Anihilated went on to play festivals on the European mainland and a number of carefully selected UK shows. They have been filmed for a new documentary about UK thrash and feature in highly acclaimed British music author, Ian Glasper's book "Trapped in a scene" about the history of British Hardcore. I Deviant is now ready for release.
