Anthrax have released a stream of their cover of Kansas classic Carry On Wayward Son.
The track features on the 7-inch vinyl box set of For All Kings, which was released earlier this month.
Drummer Charlie Benante tells The Aquarian that he has long been a fan of the song, which originally appeared on Kansas’ 1976 album Leftoverture – and played along to it as a teenager.
Benante adds: “I had to go back into the hard drive of my brain and remember how to play the song. We wanted to do it justice.”
The new box set contains a total of ten 7-inch singles, with each disc featuring a For All Kings track along with B-sides showcasing demos and covers.
Anthrax will head out on the road with Killswitch Engage and Code Orange next week – but the drummer says that despite their busy schedule, he’s already thinking about their next album.
He says: “I think there are two or three tracks that we could dust off and use as a starting point. I’d say maybe sometime this summer we could work on new material.”
But he adds: “I feel like we’re not done with For All Kings yet. We’re all so proud of it, and I feel like it still has some life to it.”
Anthrax previously released a stream of the track Vice Of The People from the box set. Find a list of their 2017 tour dates below.
