METAL II stands out as a fully re-recorded, newly mixed by Mike Fraser (AC/DC, Aerosmith and many more) and re-mastered album in a new line-up, featuring Dave Lombardo (Slayer, Grip Inc. etc) on drums and Stu Block (Iced Earth) on vocals. The guest list on the album is huge: WILLIE ADLER FROM "LAMB OF GOD", ALEXI LAIHO FROM "CHILDREN OF BODOM", STEVE "LIPS" KUDLOW FROM "ANVIL", DAN BEEHLER FROM “EXCITER”, JESPER STRÖMBLAD FROM "IN FLAMES" – just to name a few. Annihilator’s “METAL II” is dedicated to the memory of Eddie Van Halen & Alexi Laiho (CoB).
