ANNIHILATOR's JEFF WATERS Dismisses Rumors Of Drummer's Departure

ANNIHILATOR guitarist Jeff Waters has issued a statement refuting rumors of a possible departure from the group of drummer Randy Black.

"A lot of rumors [are] going around concerning the 'status' of ANNIHILATOR drummer Randy Black," Waters said in his statement. "Black is still the ANNIHILATOR skinsman and he has just signed on for the next ANNIHILATOR CD and touring cycle. The new studio CD from ANNIHILATOR is due out in the spring 2004 [through Germany's AFM Records]."
