6. Joe Comeau

Lead Vocals on Carnival Diablos (2001) & Waking The Fury (2002)
Joe Comeau is an accomplished vocalist, his time as frontman with Liege Lord and as guitarist/backing vocalist with Overkill stands as testament to that, but his stint as frontman for Annihilator was not only short-lived, it was also ill-fitting.
On Carnival Diablos, something about Joe’s classic heavy metal style steered the band away from their technical thrash roots and in to solid but unspectacular hard tock territory.
This unnecessary diversion was corrected on the following years Waking The Fury – particularly on the ripping “Ultra-Motion” – an album that thrashed harder than most in 2002 but after only 3 years in the Annihilator fold, Joe upped sticks and eventually rejoined power-thrashers Liege Lord.
