Underrated thrash classic
Joey from the Bronx | Bronx, New York USA | 08/17/1999
(4 out of 5 stars)

"Evildead's ferocious thrash debut, kicks off with a sample from the classic "Evildead" horror flick..."why have you disturbed us? awakened us from our ancient slumber?...you will die!" Apparently Evildead the band, took those same words to heart, as they unleash a lethal barrage of massive thrash. "The Awakening", kicks things off in furious fashion, pelting the listened with adrenaline fueled riffs, supplied by former Agent Steel guitarist, Juan Garcia. The title track kicks in next, a solid mosh inducing track. Sounding like a cleaner Slayer, with a higher degree of technicality, and a decidedly hardcore-style vocal delivery, Evildead continues their assault with the best track on the disc, "Living Good". Fast, technical and with a midpaced break to die for (an awesome mosh break), "Living Good" is a prime example of what Evildead can do. This is an awesome thrash track, and practically makes the cd worth owning, its' that good a song. The rest of the cd rips along, with varying success, the best being "Gone Shooting" and the awesome "Holy Trials", and varying production, as some of the songs sound flat and quickly thrown together ("Unauthorized Exploitation", and the admittedly hilarious "B.O.H.I.C.A"). Released at the waning end of the thrash movement, "Annihilation Of Civilization" suffered from lack of promotion and no American record deal, and maybe from a band trying to get a product out a little too quickly. While not a ground breaking genre classic, Evildead's full length debut (it's hard to believe that the record company didn't add their "Rise Above" debut ep on this disc)is a prime choice of thrash mayhem and craftsmanship. Their follow up "The Underworld" is more of the same; vicious, piledriving thrash, with tons of energy and not too much originality. A very worth purchase."
Classic Old School Thrash Metal!!!

"Evildead is one of the better Band from the golden age[late-eighties] of Thrash Metal,

They are not groundbreaking like Slayer or Metallica,

Not as Mighty as Anthrax or Megadeth,

but they really do some decent thrash metal,

With two members from Agent Steel,

So you can guess how they sounds like,

Some good Old American Thrash!



Annihilation of Civilization is their First Full Lenght,

They play some old school, FAST and Brutal Thrash Metal,

With some influence of Slayer!

Always play some Crushing Light Speed riff,

With some really Nice Headbangin' Moshing part,

Fast decent thrash metal guitar solo,

Vocal is not High Pitch like Slayer or Anthrax,

Think about Exodus or Sepultura vocals, some kind like that!

I make sure you need to buy a new speaker after hearing the whole album once,

because Evildead is always un-control-able CRUSHING and INTENSE,

This album will destroy your speaker/Hi-Fi and Broke your neck!!!



No Weak songs at all,

Each songs is standout, I can't pick one best,

Each songs worth your listen, Just dig the whole thing man!



But the song "Gone Shooting",

if not the best song in this album,

It should be the most impressive one!

The opening is some of the best thing I ever heard,

this song Just make me wanna jumping in my room till I hit the ceiling and fxxkin' die!



An Underrated Thrash Metal Album,

Deserve a 5 star!

My last word to describe this album......"
