2010 press on black vinyl. Limited 400 copies

Another album, another new line-up. But that´s the way it iswith Annihilator. For this album, Carnvial Diablos, Jeff Watershired ex-Overkill guitarist Joe Comeau. This album is a nice,refreshing change, especially after the failed reunion with RandyRampage and the handful of Jeff Waters `solo´ albums. Maybe itisn´t quite a `return to form´ as such, but it is probably the bestdisc since King Of The Kill. Comeau is one of the reasons whyCarnival Diablos impresses. He really does give an excellent vocalperformance. The variety of styles he sings is wide and he issimply one of the best singers Waters has ever recruited. He isalso probably the only Annihilator member to have co-written someof the material since Waters tends to write quite literallyeverything bar drums. `Shallow Grave´ is the catchiest tune on hereand is clearly an AC/DC tribute- Comeau sings like Bon Scott anddoes a fantastic job! `Time Bomb´ is slow and heavy and has acheesy intro but it´s some good stuff. `The Rush´ impresses again,especially the vocals but the riffs are pretty cool too along with`Insomniac´, which sounds a lot like old school Annihilator.`Liquid Oval´ is a melodic instrumental. `Epic Of War´ and `HunterKiller´ go back to the speed and intensity of Annihilator. At theend of `Hunter Killer´ there is a hidden joke song with Waterssinging called `Chicken And Corn´. It was dissapointing that thisand the following release, Waking The Fury were the only albumsthat Comeau sang on. He is actually my favourite Annihilatorvocalist behind Randy Rampage. Comeau is great simply because ofthe amount of styles he can sing, and how he does such a great jobon all of them. Generally it´s Waters´ guitar skills which standout above most Annihilator discs, but here it isn´t. I think it´ssafe to say that this is essential Annihilator, definitely one ofthe strongest albums Waters has made. It is easily worth your timeand money along with Waking The Fury. The only other thing I cansay is bring back Joe Comeau!
