Joey Belladonna Discusses Anthrax's NEW Album "Worship Music" & The Big Four!

With the return of Joey Belladonna to Anthrax, the band has finally found the revitalization they desperately needed. Prove of this is their magnificent album "Worship Music", which is the bands first release in eight years. Set to be released tomorrow (Tuesday, September 13), "Worship Music" feels as if Joey had never left the band and it sounds like a follow up to 1990's "Persistence of Time". The album possesses Joey's signature harmonies, excellent guitar riffs, and great grooves.

After a brilliant performance on "Late Night with Jimmy Fallon" last week, Anthrax will be holding a "surprise" show tonight at the Best Buy Theater in New York City and presenting their hometown crowd their brand new album. Then on Wednesday (September 14) Anthrax will be performing alongside Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, at the Big Four show at Yankee Stadium. Exciting times for Anthrax, who have also announced a North American tour this Fall with Testament and Death Angel.
