King of the Kill
King of the Kill is the fourth album by Canadian heavy metal band Annihilator, released in 1994. This was the first Annihilator album not released on Roadrunner Records, and marked something of a comeback for the band, who had briefly went on hiatus after the commercial failure of its predecessor Set the World on Fire. It marked a return to the thrashier sound of their earlier albums, Alice in Hell and Never, Neverland, but also saw the band starting to move towards a groove-oriented vein.[3] King of the Kill was also the first of three consecutive studio albums to feature guitarist and bandleader Jeff Waters on both lead vocals and bass.
