First off, if you’re not a fan of Black Flag, Black Sabbath, or any kind of punk/metal crossover, quit reading(and take this time to seriously rethink your life).  But for the rest of us, let’s talk a little about this awesome band called Annihilation Time.  And for those of you unfamiliar with the band, here’s a quick description of their sound: a quick kick in the jaw from a rusted iron boot, but due to masochistic tendencies, you secretly enjoy it and beg for more.  And if that description still doesn’t make sense, here’s a broader (yet a bit more boring) one: a fusion of 1980’s hardcore punk and thrash metal, glued together with wicked guitar solos ala Iron Maiden.  Trust me, it’s as sick as it sounds, but don’t take my word for it.  Just listen to Annihilation Time’s latest album, III: Tales of an Ancient Time, and prepare to grow your hair out and headbang like it’s 1981.  Give them a try:  http://www.myspace.com/annihilationtime.
