Hear the new Anthrax song “It’s for the Kids”

Anthrax announced their long-awaited studio album “Cursum Perficio,” which will be released on September 18. “It’s For the Kids,” the first single from their 12th album, is already available along with an official video. It is their first record since the acclaimed “For All Kings,” released in 2016.

The band is formed by Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals) and Jon Donais (guitar).

“Filmed on a cold rainy December day at the notorious Pennhurst Asylum the video is a throwback to Anthrax’s first video Madhouse. Many of the details were recreated for this video, including the frigid filming conditions! The fans are the true lifeblood of this video. They got an early taste of the music and brought this filming to life,” an official statement about the video said.
