Anthrax bassist Frank Bello says the band are on top of their game after the release of 11th album For All Kings.
It launched in February this year, and Bello says he, vocalist Joey Belladonna, drummer Charlie Benante, along with guitarists Scott Ian and Jon Donais, have “tapped into” something special throughout 2016.
Bello tells Kaaos TV: “I feel very fortunate. I think Anthrax is at the top of its game. I think we’re in a good way of writing. We tapped into something really good of how to work with each other writing, and it’s really paying off and connecting with people.
“Every time we think we can take a break, we’re asked to do another tour – which is great to be wanted because it’s a tough business, and we know that.”
He continues: “The only way you get your music out now is to play out there and really to make people understand you have a new record and create the buzz. And so far it’s been nothing but amazing.”
Earlier this week, an animated video was released featuring Ian reflecting on the Big Four superjam, when he and members of Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer covered Diamond Head’s Am I Evil? in Poland in 2010.
Anthrax will head out on the road again next month for two festival dates, including an appearance at the UK’s Bloodstock. They’ll then tour North America with Slayer and Death Angel starting in September.
