The first song to be released from Anthrax‘s forthcoming new album has arrived in the form of the following track, “Evil Twin“. Early 2016 will bring the release of the bands new album, with guitarist Scott Ian saying of the lyrical content of this new track:
“I was very affected by the Charlie Hebdo massacre as I have been with all of the shootings that have taken place at schools and movie theatres. I can’t figure out what would cause someone to think that was the right thing to do. ‘I’ll show the world, I’ll make my God happy.’ It’s just such bullshit. I’m not bagging on religion, that’s not my intent, but people who go to that extreme, who feel they have become judge, jury and executioner over their fellow man because you or I don’t believe the same thing they do, I think that’s the ‘Evil Twin‘ of humanity. Writing words about that is my only catharsis.”
A digital single for this new song is also currently available via select digital retailers.
