Feast is the fourteenth album by the Canadian heavy metal band Annihilator, released on August 23, 2013, by UDR in Europe and August 27, 2013, in North America. The cover art of the album features Spanish model and presenter Pilar Rubio.[6]

The album is the final to feature vocalist Dave Padden, who parted ways with the band at the end of 2014, ending his decade-plus long tenure. The decision came after Padden became fed up with Annihilator's rigorous touring schedule that followed the album's release, leaving him wanting to spend more time with his family.[citation needed]
