Time For Annihilation: On The Record & On The Road

Time For Annihilation…’ represented a celebration of Papa Roach’s story so far on their own terms. Alongside five songs introducing new facets to their sound, from the country rock-tinged ‘No Matter What’ to the swaggering ‘Kick In The Teeth’, they preserved the fiery energy of their live show on a physical format, with the recordings captured across five shows from their 2009 co-headline tour with Shinedown. At the time, it was described by Kerrang! as “a bold, best foot forward tribute to where they've come from, what they are capable of and, perhaps most importantly, where they're going next”. Fifteen years later, the power of those songs, both on record and on the road, shines through all the same. Now they get a new lease of life in the form of a reissue, marking the record’s first ever pressing to vinyl.
