The long wait for Anthrax‘s twelfth studio album is set to end this fall. The legendary East Coast thrashers are currently plotting a September/October release window for that new outing. The band’s bassist Frank Bello spilled the beans regarding that last week at NAMM, telling American Musical Supply:
“We have a new Anthrax record [coming out]. And it’s been about eight years. [Laughs] It’s been a while. So, we have a new Anthrax record. This bass will be shown everywhere we go. We’re gonna start touring. The record’s supposed to come out September, October. So big touring plans. If you know Anthrax, you know what we do — we stay on the road for quite a while.
There’s some very big shows being planned right now, which I can’t talk about, but I’m very psyched. So 2025 is the year. And I’m glad that we have this [new Spector bass] ready in the chambers, because this bass is gonna go a long way, and I just can’t wait — I can’t wait, ’cause I know what I have on stage. I’m very psyched about it.”
Various recording sessions for the effort have taken place across the past few years with producer Jay Ruston (Stone Sour, Avatar), some of which even saw Foo Fighters vocalist/guitarist Dave Grohl in attendance.
