Mountains of Madness - LP

Total Annihilation will celebrate the band's 20th anniversary year with the release of their fourth full-length "Mountains of Madness". This album delivers all the Swiss precision and trademark elements their following has come to expect of them but also with more of everything: more tempo and serious speed, more brutality, more power, more thrash, more death but also more harmonies, more melodies, and more musicality! There are also more tentacles, more jaws, more razor-sharp teeth, more twisted mutation, and definitely more evil! "Mountains of Madness" is conceived as an echo of and a bold manifesto about the state of the world as well as an artistic sign of our time. Back in the year 2006 things looked less bleak when a bunch of young musicians were just looking for some good times. Vocalist Daniel Altwegg had joined forces with three of his friends and a hot desire to simply form the hardest, loudest, and rawest metal band of their Swiss home, the City of Basel. After a phase of stylistic experiments, the band settled for an aggressive yet melodic course that combined elements of death and thrash metal. For all of those who are sick and tired of hearing the same stuff all over again, Total Annihilation offer the perfect cure with "Mountains of Madness": simply more of everything!
