ANNIHILATOR's JEFF WATERS Signs New Deal With SONY/ATV MUSIC PUBLISHING
August 31, 2011Sony/ATV Music Publishing has extended its deal with Jeff Waters for the music publishing/administration rights to at least eight ANNIHLATOR CDs. This extension comes after the successful partnership of Sony/ATV and ANNIHILATOR's 2007 deal for the 2007 ANNIHILATOR release titled "Metal" as well as other strong-selling titles such as "King Of The Kill", "Refresh The Demon", "Schizo Deluxe" and ANNIHILATOR's latest effort, titled simply "Annihilator".
Commented Waters: "Being with Sony/ATV helped to breed new life into ANNIHILATOR back in 2007. With the steady rise of our CD sales, downloads and touring/festival opportunities, we are happy to, once again, align ourselves with Sony/ATV to move into ANNIHILATOR's 14th studio release and 22nd year releasing records without a break! Thanks to all at Sony/ATV and thanks to all the metal fans that listen to real metal music!"
ANNIHLATOR is currently working on its 14th studio release as well as a "special" recording that Waters describes as "a treat for the faithful ANNIHILATOR fans and a welcoming to our new fans." The band is also in talks with labels about a record deal for Canada and the USA.
ANNIHILATOR's self-titled album was released in Europe on May 17, 2010. The CD was made available in Europe via Earache Records, in Japan through Marquee and in Australia via Riot Entertainment. It was also released in the U.S. and Canada via iTunes and most all other digital/online outlets.
