TheDevil 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.” 

ANTHRAX celebrated their 40th anniversary last year, on July 18th 2021, but due to Covid had to cancel their global touring plans, scheduled for the band to celebrate its milestone with their fans all around the world. While the band are about six months into their 41st year, the band – Joey BelladonnaScott IanFrank BelloCharlie Benante, and guitarist Jon Donais are due to finally head out on that global anniversary tour. In late July, ANTHRAX will kick off their 26-date co-headline North American tour with Black Label Society, joined by Hatebreed. They will then head to the UK and Europe in late September to headline a five-week run with MUNICIPAL WASTE. Tickets and VIP packages can be purchased at anthrax.com. All dates are below.

ABOUT ANTHRAX:  

July 18th 2021 marked Anthrax‘s 40th anniversary, during which time the band released 11 studio albums, was awarded multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, received six Grammy nominations, and a host of other accolades from the media, the music industry, and fans. In 1991, the band helped break down race and genre barriers when they collaborated with Public Enemy on the track ‘Bring The Noise‘ and was the first metal band to have its music heard on Mars when NASA played ‘Got The Time‘ to wake up the Mars Rover in 2012.  Along with MetallicaSlayer, and Megadeth, Anthrax is a card-carrying member of The Big Four, the four bands that defined the speed/thrash/metal genre. Anthrax has also introduced a series of now sold-out signature whiskeys and bourbons and partnered with the Stockholm-based NEZUMI Studios for a high-end, limited-edition Baleine dive watch. Twenty-twenty-one also saw the release of Z2 Comics’ ‘Among the Living‘ graphic novel with a track-by-track storyline inspired by Anthrax‘s iconic 1987 album, ‘Among The Living.  The book pulls together a “who’s who” of names from the worlds of comics and music who created “bubble dialogue” and original artwork to express what the songs meant to them. Taking advantage of COVID-19’s prohibition of concert touring, the band has been hard at work writing the next Anthrax album.

For Anthrax, 2022 is already off to a great start, but their 40th-anniversary isn’t quite in the band’s rear-view mirror. Unable to launch a planned 40th anniversary world tour due to COVID, the band will launch their 40th anniversary World Tour this year.  The celebrations start July 26 in North America, co-headlining with Black Label Society, then a headline trek in the UK and Europe in the fall with Municipal Waste
