East Coast thrash metal pillars Anthrax have issued a music video for the title track to their long-awaited new album “Cursum Perficio“. Don Argott (Lamb Of God, Taylor Swift) helmed this monochromatic clip, which features London May of Samhain fame. The latter suffered for that spot, telling Rolling Stone:
“‘Cursum Perficio‘ brought out the beast in me. I broke my finger the very first day and had to beg them to keep shooting. That was real chain and real pain. I went through hell and back for Anthrax and Don Argott — and I’d happily do it all again!”
Guitarist Scott Ian, who also serves as Anthrax‘s primary lyricist, went on to add of the song and its new visual component:
“The video for ‘Cursum Perficio’ captures all of the themes I’m exploring in the lyrics … they’re epic in scope … how do you quantify your life? How do you measure oceans of time, and what did you do with it? And were all the struggles worth it in the end?”
This debut precedes tomorrow’s (September 18th) arrival of the band’s aforementioned new album, which will be their first full-length effort in a decade.
