   About ANIHILATED [official myspace page]

Anihilated evolved from their early Punk roots into one of the UK's first ever Thrash Metal bands, back in the early 1980's, around the same time that Metallica and Slayer were breaking the brand new American Thrash scene.

After inclusions on various successful Punk compilation albums, Anihilated turned towards a much faster and metallic sound. Early gigs with their new material bemused their then mainly punk audiences, as back then, most people had never seen a thrash band before, and it was first thought that they were selling out. However, the realisation that Anihilated had not abandoned their ethics or social conscious, maintained their credibility within the punk community as they continued to develop their heavier, thrash sound.

In spring 1984 they disappeared 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 which saw a growing number of Metalheads attending their gigs. After another short period of creative writing, they returned to the studio to record and release their renowned "Path To Destruction" EP, an early example of 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, but decided instead, to uphold 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 establishments. Their popularity continued to grow, featuring in fanzines/magazines and bootleg recordings around the world, and securing a huge international following and cult band status. This, together with a number of high profile gigs, saw Anihilated achieve the recognition they deserved, and acknowledged as one of the main forerunners and innovators of Thrash Metal in the UK.

Their first full thrash album "Created In Hate", was described by 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 is widely regarded as their best studio album and is deemed by Marquee Records, to be "one of the finest UK Thrash Metal releases ever".

Anihilated had always been better known on foreign soil than in their own home country and their international fanbase remained strong over the years. In 2008, mounting pressure from fans to reform became too much to ignore and so, after a 20 year break, Anihilated are back together again. The band have just finished recording a brand new album have also been offered some prestigious gigs abroad and are now looking forward to hitting some stages again and meeting their fans.

Created In Hate and The Ultimate Desecration albums have been completely repackaged, remastered and re-issued on Brazilian label 'Marquee Records', and include live bonus tracks. The Path To Destruction EP was re-issued on CD through Japanese labels 'In Crust We Thrash' and 'Aktiva//Protesta Rekordo'. All pressings completely sold out.
Chinese label 'Area Death Productions' have recently released a Chinese version of PTD, and a run of special limited edition box sets containing various Anihilated merchandise, for distribution throughout China and across Asia.

Anihilated feature in a new book by highly acclaimed British music author Ian Glasper about the history of British Hardcore. "Trapped in a scene" is published by Cherry Red
