Annunaki

ANNUNAKI

The road to Annunaki's inception is a long and storied one, with many

detours along the way. Beginning in late 2005, the trio of Kevin Kuzma,

John Blicharz, and Karl Odenwalder, sought an outlet for their

aggression. The band had a desire to transcend the restrictions of the

thrash metal genre. With influences ranging from the extreme death metal

and black metal fields, the band sought a vocalist who could make these

influences felt in their music. The band recruited vocalist Tony

Stanziano to achieve their desired sound, and Annunaki was born.

1. Annunaki - n - group of Sumerian deities who dwell on Earth and in

the underworld. Their name loosely translates to "those of royal blood,"

or "heaven and earth."

2. Annunaki - n - metal.

The only fitting phrase that can be used to describe the audio assault

that is unleashed from this Bayonne, New Jersey dwelling quartet is

"extreme metal". Annunaki's debut release, "Throne of the Annunaki",

proves this in every way possible. Recorded with Eric Kvortek at Trax

East Studios (God Forbid, Symphony X, Sinai Beach) and mastered at

West-West Side Music with Alan Douches (Suffocation, Cannibal Corpse,

Krisiun, Nile), the relentless aggression that the band conjured and

crafted is compiled and dispersed among thirteen tracks. A vicious

onslaught from start to finish, "Throne of the Annunaki" takes metal to

every extreme. Compromising nothing and ignoring the boundaries of the

metal subgenres, Annunaki extends beyond, delivering an intense

blackened death-thrash assault.

Since the completion of "Throne of the Annunaki", the band has unleashed

their live assault at various places on the map. Sharing a stage with

Deicide, opening for Carnivore, performing at the 2007 Milwaukee

Metalfest, and sharing the stage at the sold out BB King's club in New

York with the legendary Immortal, are just the beginning for Annunaki.
