History and miscellaneous:

Anihilated is a British Thrash Metal band formed in 1981 as a punk band called Prospex, then the original singer left the band, then Simon Cobb took his place in 1984 to fill as for the singer, he was also the guitarist. The band then move to Thrash Metal as their new style, the E.P. Path To Destruction (1986) was a great example that proved that the band had moved on. Then two years later, in 1988, they release their first album, Created In Hate then another one in 1989, called The Ultimate Desecration, two great albums. Then one year later, the band decided to broke up, to reform 18 years later, in 2008, with the same lineup. Two years after reforming, in 2010, the band released their comeback and third album, called Scorched Earth Policy, view as one of the best comeback album of 2010 in Metal Music industry. Then 3 years later, they released IDeviant and now in 2015 they have just released their newest album, the 17th of April, the album is called Anti Social Engineering, an album in the vein of their last one.

The band really sound like some American Thrash legends, isn't it? I just think they really sound like Slayer and their album The Ultimate Desecration really sound like a British kind of Slayer.
