A rare and newly surfaced soundboard professional recording from the Shogun tour back in the day

Anthrax is a band that has truly never disappointed. Worship Music and For All Kings are modern day masterpieces, and are undoubtedly tough records to follow. Especially with Anthrax taking 10+ years to make this record, I wasn’t sure what it would sound like.

I will just say - this song blew me away. It is everything you want in not only an Anthrax song, but in a HEAVY METAL song.

Joey sounds top notch. It is insane that he is 65 years old. The dude is untouchable. Still hits his highs like its 1987.

Scott, is the riff master. This song is packed with so many great riffs. His backing vocals sound great too.

Frankies bass stands out a lot in the mix. I have always appreciated that about Anthrax. Great bass lines in this song.

Charlie kills it on the drums. The drum mix sounds like it was taken right from State of Euphoria. Killer!

Jon Donais is on FIRE with the lead section. An amazing solo truly.

The song itself is probably one of my favorite anthrax songs to date. And I’m not just saying that because it’s new. The intro and verse is fast thrashy and old school. The chorus is straight up addictive I can’t stop listening to it. And then The bridge “Mosh” section is one of the greatest pieces of anthrax music I’ve ever heard. Makes me want to start punching things.

All in all, this song is near perfect. It combines their old school sounds from the 80’s with their Modern era sound… even with a sprinkle of Bush era in the verse.

I’m so fucking impressed with this song, and can’t wait to hear the rest of the record. I’m so proud of these guys and can’t wait to catch them on tour for this record.

If I was them, I would just make the announcement already and release the first single. It has been over a decade and especially with the tracklist and cover getting leaked. I think it’s time they just announced the damn thing already.
