    Good technical thrash can be a really good workout for both arms and Annihilator are no strangers to technicality.
    great video, great riff compilation. Well, time to listen to some more Annihilator
    you familiar with Vektor? probably my favourite tech/prog thrash band

    Jeff Waters was sadly overlooked back in the day. Great job showing some respect and of course for including "The Fun Palace".

    The difference between speedmetal and thrash, this being the former. Pure metal.
