Annihilate The Hero is a three-piece metal band based in Carbondale, Illinois with influences coming from all types of metal; death, progressive, grindcore, old school, and metalcore. The current line up consists of Justin Malinee on drums, Thomas Henderson on guitar/vocals, and Tony Lamantia on bass.
After the band's formation in 2002, Annihilate the Hero spawned an EP and a full-length album, then made the transformation into their present three-piece structure. The current line-up has been in place since 2004, and have since released their albums "Images of Disgust" in 2005, and "Betrothing Dejection" in 2007, putting forth a true representation of the Annihilate the Hero sound. They have also compiled an impressive list of bands they have shared the stage with, including Superjoint Ritual, Hatebreed, Chimaira, God Forbid, Crowbar, Full Blown Chaos, Pissing Razors, Hemlock, and many more. They were also invited to join Nuclear Blast Records band Bleed the Sky and Mediaskare Records band Silent Civilian on a series of tour dates, which took them through Texas, Iowa, and Central Illinois.
Currently an independent band, Annihilate the Hero is seeking recognition from record labels, news media, radio, and fans all over the world. Since the release of "Betrothing Dejection," Annihilate the Hero has been promoting their music via shows across the midwest, all the while writing and developing new music. With all the things Annihilate The Hero has under their belt, the band still looks ahead, trying spreading their sound world-wide. All these things make up Annihilate The Hero; the rest you can see on stage.
