Endurance is defined as the ability to withstand hardship, pain and almost all sorts of trials and tribulations throughout one's existence. To some of us the dream of becoming professional musicians has died long ago, whether by lack of faith, time, talent or dedication; but for someone who has already achieved it and has also had to witness how it has faded away, the frustration and sense of underachievement must be incommensurable. ANAIALATOR is a Thrash Metal band from the lone star state, more precisely from the city of Houston, which after a short three year long career had no more options but to dissolve, making their members take different paths, until 2015, when the band found the means and resource to announce a comeback EP called "Rise to Supremacy."
This is the bands third EP, and although they have never released a full length album, the memorability of it resides in ANAILATOR coming back from oblivion after almost three decades off the Thrash Metal circuit. Resilient and energetic, "Rise Again" the third track of this EP, gathers all the emotions and creative forces held back for so many years; engineered in an untraditional manner for Thrash Metal and directed towards a more harsh sound that enables the chaotic and social criticism oriented lyrics and dynamic riffs to acquire a deeper meaning and impact on the listeners psyche.
Although the future is uncertain for all of us, a musical project that comes back to a new era, must not know the meaning of fear, and even though some of their members were not in complete inactivity after being part of the band SUFFERANCE I think the best advice for ANIALATOR is to become one with persistence and hard work; the more they play and stay in activity the more the ghost from the past will remain away to assure that this time, this Texan Thrashers become a more well-known band just like they deserve.
