For the Demented is the sixteenth studio album by Canadian thrash metal band Annihilator, released on November 3, 2017.

[1] Over a year after the release of Suicide Society (2015), Annihilator began working on a follow-up album.

Founding member and guitarist Jeff Waters told Metal Wani in December 2016: "On the next one, the changes I'm gonna make… I only said two things.

In the earlier days, I would go, 'I don't care about the chorus being the main part; I want the whole song to be cool.'

[5] In support of For the Demented, Annihilator (along with Death Angel) opened for Testament on the European Brotherhood of the Snake tour, which took place in November and December 2017.
