This will be fantastic. One of my favourite bands since 1984, covering my favourite band since 1991. Anthrax is also maybe the only band who does covers better than Pearl Jam.

ANTHRAX To Begin Recording Worship Music On November 4th
Posted on Monday, October 20, 2008 at 15:11:19 EST


ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante checks in with the following:

"I am here for an update.

Here is what I know... we have 13 brand new Anthrax songs, we have 4 (maybe 5) b-sides. The b-sides will be 'Brain Of J' (PEARL JAM), 'Big Eyes' (CHEAP TRICK), 'New Noise' (THE REFUSED), 'Running Down A Dream' (TOM PETTY) and maybe an ANVIL cover - 'Jackhammer'?? Or maybe an ALICE COOPER cover - 'We Die Young'?

The new tunes are very strong. We have some old school thrash and some stuff that is like W.C.F.Y.A. meets S.O.W.N. This record is not forced - it is a very organic and honest representation of where we are as a band and as writers.

I hear many things nowadays that sound forced, I ain't digging that. There is a 6-minute tune called 'Down Goes The Sun', I believe it is one of my favorite songs. The music itself is epic, it sends chills up my spine. 'Face with No Name', 'The Devil You Know', 'Earth On Hell' - all killer.

Worship Music should be out in May.

We enter the studio on November 4th, the day that change comes, hahahahahahahahaha!

GO VOTE!!

Take this Country back from these thieves that put us in this situation.

Anyone selling a black hybrid Escalade? I want one!

Love to all,

Charlie."

    Gimme 10 minutes or so, I'll upload it.

    Yeah, still in Mexico, almost two and a half years now. I enjoyed a 29-degree day today (well, every day), and picked some oranges and limes off the tree in the backyard and made some fresh juice.

    Anthrax - Exit (b-side from 2003's We've Come For You All) :

    http://www.sendspace.com/file/w3u4uj

    Like I said, they do great covers by a wide range of bands, usually as b-sides. They've also done "The Bends" (Radiohead), "Next To You" (The Police), "London" (The Smiths), and several KISS songs. One of my favourite bands for fuckin' ages.

    Awesome; I bet their cover of Petty's RDOD will be great too. One of the best covers of all time is Anthrax doing Black Sabbath's Sabbath Bloody Sabbath.

    I loved Anthrax so much way back in the day :D...It's a Madhouse, and all that. Be interesting to hear them doing PJ, tho they have a different singer these days I hear.
    I came, I saw, I concurred.....

    Ha, good memory! Not so much these days -- or in the last 10 years or so -- but I got my first KISS album in 1975, so I'll always have a soft spot for their old stuff.

    Does he mean AIC??

    I am gonna track some of these down. Any band that covers such an obscure PJ song, deserves a listen, in my book.

    Yeah, I assume he had a brain fart and meant Alice In Chains.

    Here is a decent site listing most of Anthrax' covers. It's not complete, but it's pretty close.
