April 27th has been set as the release date for Anthrax‘s forthcoming live DVD, “Kings Among Scotland“. The effort captures a February 15th, 2017 set the band performed at the Barrowland Ballroom in Glasgow, Scotland. That special performance saw them run through a traditional set first, with a second set highlighting their third studio album, “Among The Living“.
The whole thing was filmed and directed by Paul M. Green (Opeth, The Damned) for Film24Productions, with 17 cameras utilized in the shoot. Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Anthrax) handled the mixing of the audio for the release.
Bonus interviews, gear rundowns and behind the scenes footage will also appear on the release, which you can pre-order now via Amazon. The setlist for the night can be found below:

The band’s Frank Bello commented:
“Playing for our friends at the Barrowlands has always been very special. We all know we’re going to get together and have an insanely great time, and we think that incredible interaction and energy really comes through on this video.”
Drummer Charlie Benante added:
“It was a challenge for all of us to play ‘Among The Living‘ live. “We’ve played a number of that album’s songs in our shows over the years, but not all of them, and playing a song in a recording studio is not the same as playing it live on stage. So we put in a lot of time to get all of the tracks down perfectly. And I’ll tell you, after we finished that set, as arduous as it was, we all felt a sense of exhiliration, like we could go out and do it again.”
