ANTHRAX has just completed a U.S. tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Both bands played headline sets. HATEBREED, celebrating the 20th anniversary of the “Perseverance” album, was the special guest.
ANTHRAX‘s setlist on the trek included the addition of the John Bush-era track “Only”, which hadn’t been performed live since 2011.
“Only” originally appeared on 1993’s “Sound Of White Noise”, one of four albums Bush recorded with ANTHRAX during his 13-year tenure with the band.
ANTHRAX‘s latest album, “For All Kings”, which features current singer Joey Belladonna, came out in February 2016 via Nuclear Blast.
ANTHRAX celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2021 with a number of special activities and events. Formed by Ian and bassist Dan Lilker in Queens, New York on July 18, 1981, ANTHRAX was one of the first thrash metal bands to emerge from the East Coast and quickly became regarded as a leader in the genre alongside METALLICA, SLAYER and MEGADETH.
Order ‘XL‘ HEREStream/purchase ‘The Devil You Know‘ live HERE.‘The Devil You Know‘ was the first official single released from the band’s highly-acclaimed 2011 album, Worship Music, and was a stand-out track with the media. Rolling Stone referred to it as “…a relentlessly heavy number…as aggressive and punishing as you would expect from the band, but with a touch of old school AC/DC swagger thrown in for good measure,” while Loudwire wrote that it was “addictive and propulsive…Scott unleashes what might be the riff of the year.”
