Canadian Metal, Part 2: Annihilator "Alice In Hell"

1989. The tail end of the thrash scene; with one notable exception... Annihilator. The Alice in Hell record, recorded in 1988 and released in 1989 on Roadrunner, was a culmination of the entire genre. Embodying elements of speed metal, hardcore punk, proto-death metal and every permutation of thrash, Alice in Hell is a fitting goodbye to a scene that brought extreme metal to a wider audience and made way for the underground to rise. This entry of the Canadian Metal series, we discuss the album track-by-track in an effort to better understand our neighbors to the North's vast wealth of metal skills and influence.   "Crystal Ann", Alice in Hell (1989) "Alison Hell", Alice in Hell (1989)   Talkset #1 "W.Y.T.D.", Alice in Hell (1989) "Wicked Mystic", Alice in Hell (1989) "Burns Like a Buzzsaw Blade", Alice in Hell (1989)   Talkset #2 "Word Salad", Alice in Hell (1989) "Schizos (Are Never Alone), Part I & II", Alice in Hell (1989) "Ligeia", Alice in Hell (1989)   Talkset #3 "Human Insecticide", Alice in Hell (1989)   RequiemMetal.com Email us - [email protected] Support us on Patreon!
