Anthrax is a band that has always been near and dear to my heart. Anthrax was my gateway band to thrash. I remember reading something about how \u2018Imitation of Life\u2019 was one of the fastest songs they had ever recorded, so I had to check it out. I wore the loud shorts and read comic books, so Anthrax was kind of my Big 4 band. Buying all their albums was easy, even if some were not the best. Like everyone else, I was skeptical when I heard Joey Belladonna had left the band and John Bush was named as his replacement. Then I heard \u2018Only\u2019 and was simultaneously blown away and surprised. I stuck with Anthrax through the Bush years, enjoying and appreciating those albums for the band that John had allowed them to evolve into. I am not going to get into the whole Bush vs. Belladonna argument, but let\u2019s just say that a couple of the Bush albums are my all-time favorites. So when I heard Joey Belladonna was returning to the band after a turbulent turnover of vocalists, I was again skeptical. Then I heard \u2018The Devil You Know,\u2019 and all was right with Anthrax. \u201cWorship Music\u201d had its ticks, but was still a great return to form for the band. So, I was obviously much anticipating the follow up, to see if the roll would continue. After listening to \u201cFor All Kings,\u201d roll on they have.<\/p>\n
\u201cFor All Kings\u201d was released February 26, 2016, and is Anthrax\u2019s second album with Nuclear Blast. The album intros in with \u2018Impaled,\u2019 and is then on to opening track \u2018You Gotta Believe,\u2019 this album\u2019s version of \u2018Fight ‘Em \u2018Til You Can’t.\u2019 \u2018Monster At The End\u2019 also sounds a little like one of the tracks from \u201cWorship.\u201d I\u2019m not saying that Anthrax is recycling riffs, it is just something about their new writing style that makes everything sound classic, yet fresh at the same time. The title track continues this trend, opening with Belladonna\u2019s voice, which sounds much less \u201ctouched up\u201d on this album. At this point we hit a triple threat of what are arguably the best three songs on the record: \u2018Breathing Lightning,\u2019 Suzerain,\u2019 and \u2018Evil Twin.\u2019 These three songs really show where Anthrax is right now, and for me, really show the influence John Bush has had on their song writing. Let\u2019s face it, up until Bush joined the band, there is now way they would have written a song like \u2018Anyplace But Here\u2019 on W.C.F.Y.A., and \u2018Breathing Lightning\u2019 is no different. This song and \u2018Suzerain\u2019 have the feeling, groove, and melody that any Anthrax album before \u201cWhite Noise\u201d was missing. \u2018Evil Twin\u2019 and the closing track \u2018Zero Tolerance,\u2019 on the other hand, is straight up vintage Anthrax. I don\u2019t think I\u2019ve heard them riff this hard since \u201cAmong the Living\u201d and I know they haven\u2019t played that fast (\u2018Zero Tolerance\u2019) since the song that made me buy that record in the first place. Unfortunately, you have to wade through some so-so tracks to get to it. Don\u2019t get me wrong, \u2018Blood Eagle Wings\u2019 is a cool song, except it is a minute and a half too long (like the unnecessary outro \u2018Breathing Out\u2019 two songs before), and is a kind of a downer after the fury that is \u2018Evil Twin.\u2019 Speaking of fury, Scott, Charlie, and Frank are tight as ever. Jon Donais is fantastic addition to this crew. I should not be surprised; the guy has been smoking it in Shadows Fall for quite some time. His leads are on point and flow very well with the songs and Ian\u2019s rhythm. Donais is the best lead guitarist Anthrax has ever had (Dimebag does not count) and he shows it on his recorded debut.<\/p>\n
