Today April 4th sees the release of the 2nd AMERIKAN KAOS album, 'All That Jive', spearheaded by Jeff Waters.
Amerikan Kaos marks a significant shift in the musical journey of Jeff Waters. With a career spanning decades and numerous albums, Jeff embarks on a new project that promises to blend a variety of musical influences, transcending the boundaries he experienced with Annihilator.
Amerikan Kaos was born from Jeff’s lifelong passion for diverse music genres, ranging from blues, punk, thrash, and heavy metal to pop, classical, and jazz. The global shutdown provided the perfect opportunity for Jeff to delve into this creative endeavor, aiming to explore beyond the familiar territories of Annihilator.
Jeff’s vision for Amerikan Kaos expanded into a trilogy, each album showcasing different styles and featuring diverse line-ups and vocalists. This ambitious plan stemmed from his desire to write across multiple genres without being confined to a single style.
The debut album, 'Armageddon Boogie', was released to critical acclaim in May of 2024.

Jeff Waters himself is very excited about the album, this is what he had to say about it:
"It's personally my favorite record that I've done since 'King Of The Kill' or maybe 'Schizo Deluxe'. Those are two Annihilator records and that would be 1994 and 2005, respectively. So if I am correct, this is the best record I've done in 20 years and I hope everybody likes it. I love it. I hope you love it. Thank you so much.
- Jeff Waters"
