Anthrax have released a music video for their new single, titled "It’s For The Kids". The new song marks the band's first new music in a decade and the lead track from their upcoming twelfth studio album Cursum Perficio, due out September 18th via Megaforce Records in North America and Nuclear Blast in Europe.

The album was produced by Jay Ruston (known from his work with Stone Sour and Armored Saint), with recording and mixing sessions taking place at multiple locations including Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in California.



Directed by Don Argott


The band commented on the music video as follows:

"Filmed on a cold rainy December day at the notorious Pennhurst Asylum the video is a throwback to Anthrax's first video "Madhouse". Many of the details were recreated for this video, including the frigid filming conditions! The fans are the true lifeblood of this video. They got an early taste of the music and brought this filming to life."





Cursum Perficio tracklist:

01. Persistence Of Memory
02. The Long Goodbyes
03. It's For The Kids
04. Everybody's Got A Plan
05. The Edge Of Perfection
06. Infectious

08. Cursum Perficio
09. Target On My Back

I didn't add this album before because of that cover; it just doesn't look like Anthrax.

Sounds very good to me. Belladonna's voice obviously is not the same but still he can sing decently, and the rest of the performances are solid. Looking forward to the album!

It kinda looks more like some kind of rejected artwork for a Rush, Yes or Opeth album.

Amazing solo, too.

Either the solo or a portion of the song reminds me of the Persistence Of Time era.
