Hyviä uutisia Anthraxin leiristä: yhtye työstämässä aggressiivista materiaalia uudelle albumille
New Yorkista kotoisin olevan thrash metal -legenda Anthraxin rumpali Charlie Benante on vahvistanut yhtyeen aloittaneen seuraavan albuminsa valmistelun. Benanten mukaan bändi työskentelee parhaillaan uuden aggressiivisen materiaalin parissa.
Mies tiedotti asiasta ”Rock Talk With Mitch Lafon” –podcastissa ja voit lukea hänen kommenttejaan tästä:
”It’s already been started.”

I think maybe it’s just a reflection of the world and everything in general in this so-called business. I don’t know why it’s coming out like that, but it’s coming out very — like I said — angry and pissed off and just very aggressive.”
Benante kertoi myös ensi vuonna 20-vuotta täyttävän ”State Of Euphoria” -albumin uudelleenjulkaisusta, joka tullaan julkaisemaan vuonna 2018:
”I’ve been working on that for over a year now, just compiling different versions, demos, rehearsal tapes, some live stuff,” he said. ”I just want it to be a really cool release, because, of course, you’re gonna have the album remastered and everything, and then you’ll have the B-sides on it also too. And then the other disc will have, basically, the evolution of the songs, from demo to rehearsal to recording — you know what I mean? You’ll hear how [each] song came to be the song. It’s just pretty interesting. I wish a lot of bands would do something like that, just to show how the song evolved to be the song that it was.”

Mies muistelee albumia:
”It was the record, in our whole catalog, that we all felt a bit like it wasn’t quite finished, because we were kind of rushed. Back in those days, you did a record, you did the tour, then you went back to do another record and then you had another tour. It was just such a really crazy schedule. And it’s a classic case of the band just being rushed and really not letting it kind of sit and breathe for a bit [and allowing us to] live with it for a bit. It was tough.”
”Back in those days, you have to remember, we were only a real band for about what? Four years at that time?”
”So we were learning everything in a hurry and experiencing things in a hurry, and we didn’t have the experience to say, ’Stop! Stop for a minute. Let’s regroup here.'”

Anthraxin tuleva 13. albumi tulee olemaan bändin kolmas täyspitkä sitten laulaja Joey Belladonnan palaamisen yhtyeen riveihin vuonna 2010. Hänen paluutaan seurannut ”Worship Music” -albumi julkaistiin vuonna 2011, kun taas uusin ”For All Kings” -levy ilmestyi viime vuoden helmikuussa.
