Scott Ian about the tour:
“Finally! We’ve been looking forward to headlining in Europe for so long. We have a killer set planned, new stuff, old faves, deep tracks and »Among« front to back. You’d better start getting in shape now for the epic wardance. See you soon my friends – cheers!”
In support of this upcoming trek, ANTHRAX will release a limited tour edition of their latest studio album »For All Kings« on February 17th. As well as the regular album it will include ‘Vice Of the People’ (previously only available in Japan) as well as a bonus disc of demo versions.
Drummer Charlie Benante commented on the bonus material:
“We’ve included some of the demos from »For All Kings« in this package. We wanted to show the evolution of the songs. The idea of a song can start from a guitar riff or a thought in your head. It then takes shape and goes from my music to Scott’s lyrics to Frank and Joey’s ideas and melodies to Jon’s lead guitar. This is our way of making ANTHRAX music – ENJOY!”
