‘Worship Music’, the brand new album from the mighty Anthrax, will be released on October 23rd!

In other news on the album, the band’s new frontman Dan Nelson has  spoken out about the album. Nelson told FuryRocks: “It’s definitely an Anthrax record. I don’t think it’s so different from the other records, but it’s definitely the heaviest Anthrax, but at the same time it’s very melodic. It’s a very dark album. You’re not going to listen to it and think, “Who is this? This isn’t Anthrax,” but at times, it’s the most aggressive Anthrax you’ve ever heard, I believe. And if Charlie disagrees with me, I’ll put him in a headlock right now. [Laughs]”
