Today, big dreams come true for the members of Thrash Metal band Anthrax, as they return to their hometown of New York and step on the stage at Yankee Stadium. As the only one of The Big Four bands whose members are from New York, a number of the band have many childhood memories of attending Yankees games, making today's concert especially significant.
If that's not enough, The Big Four concert takes place the day following the release of Worship Music, Anthrax's first new album in eight years, already receiving some of the best reviews the band has ever had in its career.
"For over 30 years, Anthrax continues to 'Bring the Noise' through the 'Persistence of Time' in the Bronx, New York City and across the world; and
WHEREAS: Anthrax, a band with strong Bronx roots, is worshipped by their fans worldwide for giving them a 'Fistful of Metal,' both by touring and selling albums in the millions; and
WHEREAS: Today, I welcome Anthrax back home, as they 'Keep It in the Family' 'Among the Living' of the Bronx, while bringing a 'State of Euphoria' through the 'Sound of White Noise' to tens of thousands of people in Yankee Stadium;
NOW, THEREFORE, I Ruben Diaz Jr., President of the Borough of The Bronx, do hereby proclaim September 14, 2011
ANTHRAX DAY IN THE BRONX
And urge my fellow citizens to take appropriate recognition of the occasion and get 'Caught in a Mosh.'"
Ruben Diaz Jr.
