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.

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.

Bonus disc - Re-kill
The deluxe ECO-book version is set to feature a bonus disc, featuring re-recordings of 15 of the band's most well-known songs (in addition to a 3D cover) from prior to Dave Padden being Annihilator's vocalist. Jeff Waters stated in an interview that the inspiration for the re-recordings was based on the fact that many of Annihilator's current fans ("more than 50%") are kids between the ages of 18 and 25 years. Many in this age group, according to Waters, either are unaware of or else have had trouble obtaining Annihilator's earlier records. Hence, the re-recordings are designed to bring Annihilator's earlier material to the newer generation of Annihilator fans.
