Annihilator have issued an acoustic video for their classic track “Sounds Good To Me”; view it below over at Guitar World.
The song is featured on the group’s upcoming set Triple Threat, a three-disc collection of their music based in a trio of very different scenarios. Founder Jeff Waters states:
“This was one of the coolest things I have done in my long career. Having five people in a room, from all different backgrounds and talents, coming together to play songs from the past, and to try to sound like we are one but totally live and with feeling. This was one of the biggest challenges that Annihilator has faced, musically, but what impressed me the most was how you can hear all the individual styles each player has and how we were able to glue the playing and feel together. Done all in one take and with all the musical blemishes and imperfections that I would never normally let slide!
This set covers some of the melodic songs, one even from 1984 (when a few of these guys were not even born!) and I just had to do this once in my life… to challenge myself and maybe show some others that it’s not always just about the metal and the thrash! Rock n’ roll and ballads are found everywhere in heavy metal.
Annihilator are made up of a helluva lot of styles, mixed into one. That’s exactly what kind of musicians I put together for this set – a mixed bag of rockers and metalheads – and they made our legacy proud! Enjoy… we sure love this one.”
Triple Threat will hit stores on January 27th through UDR Music. Pre-orders are available in a number of formats including DVD/2-CD, Blu-ray/2-CD, 2-CD audio only, and digital download.
