Anthrax - New Album Coming Out Later This Year


At this weekend's NAMM convention in Anaheim, California, Anthrax bassist Frank Bello briefly talked to American Musical Supply about his new signature Spector bass, and offered an update on the band's plans for the coming months. According to him, the upcoming new Anthrax album is currently expected to be released in September or October. The release marks the band's first new album in almost ten years.

Bello shared the following: “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.”

I hope that when it comes out it has new MicroSD memory (so outdated)

One might ask why they release new albums so sparsely. The answer is both simple, nad disappointing. Part of the answer is their concert that I saw in December last year. It was awesome (with Testament supporting and Kreator headlining), but take a look at the setlist:

A.I.R.
Got the Time
Caught in a Mosh
Fight 'Em 'Til You Can't
Madhouse
Metal Thrashing Mad
Be All, End All
I Am the Law
Medusa
Antisocial
Indians
Efilnikufesin (N.F.L.)

Only ONE original song is not from the 80's (Got the Time is a cover). This tells you everything you need to know - hardly anyone gives a damn about Anthrax's new music, so why would they bother making it?

All that said, I hope the new album is awesome (I very much like quite a few songs on the last one).

It's about damn time. Almost ten years is quite a long gap between albums for a band that never broke up.
