Album Notes & Community Reviews

Welcoming back original vocalist Randy Rampage for the first time since their seminal 1989 debut, Canadian thrash stalwarts Annihilator returned with 'Criteria for a Black Widow'[cite: 1]. The record predictably highlights Jeff Waters' incredibly complex, highly technical guitar riffing while reincorporating significantly heavier groove metal elements into their established aggressive sound[cite: 1].
