Anthrax finally gets a new singer... (not Bush or Belladonna)
TWO CLASSIC ALBUMS AVAILABLE ONLINE DECEMBER 18!!!
Anthrax is excited and proud to introduce their new singer, Dan Nelson. Nelson is a virtual unknown, having fronted several local bands in the Long
Island/New York area in the past. Says drummer Charlie Benante, "Rob [Caggiano] called me and said, 'I have a singer, you should check him out.' We
gave him a shot, and he floored us."
After a successful reunion tour with former singer Joey Belladonna in 2006, there were rumors of recording a new album with that lineup. However,
talks fell through and the band was left, once again, without a singer. Enter Dan Nelson.
"I was actually looking for a band," commented Nelson. "Long Island, NY is a pretty dead scene. I was in Unbroken, and through that I met Rob a couple
years ago. I had gone through some stuff on a personal side where I took time off from the music. When I got back to the scene, I couldn't find a
band, so I contacted Rob through MySpace and offered my services. We sent music back and forth, got together, and jammed for 10 hours straight. After
10 hours, he said, 'I think you'd be right for Anthrax."
"There's no place else I'd rather be right now," Nelson said. "It's a great vibe. I feel great, and I'm ready to go. It's lit that much more of a fire
under me. I'm getting to live the dream, and it feels amazing. I can't wait for all these people who think Anthrax is done to be proven wrong. The
naysayers are gonna be shut down, and the true blue fans are gonna be pleased."
Guitarist Scott Ian commented on the new singer saying, "It feels great working with Dan. The first time we jammed, we ran through a bunch of old
songs, songs from the John Bush/Joey Belladonna eras. Right from the first second Dan started "Room For One More" we knew. We said, 'Now that we've
got that, let's work his ass off."
Anthrax, featuring Nelson on vocals, guitarists Ian and Rob Caggiano, bassist Frankie Bello, and drummer Benante, is currently working on all-new
material. "We wrote these songs and they fucking kicked ass," says Benante. "It was cathartic. We also want to take our time. This record will be
under the microscope, more so than the others. We want to make sure it's 100% perfect."
Also, two classic Anthrax records - "Sound of White Noise" and "Stomp 442" - are going to be available on iTunes on December 18. They will be expanded
editions with bonus tracks, and it's the first time the records will be released digitally. The online versions of the albums will also include
commentary tracks from the band members themselves!
Anthrax has not yet announced a release date for an upcoming album, but the band is in the middle of the writing process, so stay tuned for more
updates!! Be sure to check out "Sound of White Noise" and "Stomp 442" on iTunes beginning December 18!!

Each aspect of the soul has it's own part to play, but the ideal is harmonious agreement with reason and control.

Yeah, John Bush sucked. They should just hang it up, call it a day. They put out so many classic records. Just let it end... they've unfortunately
gone way beyond "gracefully" at this point though.

My old band opened for Joey Belladonna and I hung out with him for quite awhile. He was a really nice guy.

I like Persistance of Time. The cover of 'Got The Time' is awesome!

Persistance of Time was an amazing album. Sound of White Noise too. I love that fucking record. Stomp 442 wasn't great, only one or two good tracks
on it.
