Hear the new Anthrax song “The Edge Of Perfection”
Scott Ian talked about the song, saying: “It’s the apex predator of Anthrax songs. I think it’s the best song we’ve ever written and the best thing I’ve ever been a part of creatively. What’s the most powerful emotion that moves me more than anything? Of course it’s love. Nothing moves me like the deep feeling that I get from my wife and son.”
“I’m living on that edge for the rest of my life. This is mine, but there are a lot of ways to ruin it. I’ve ruined it in past iterations of my life, but it got me to where I am. Love is perfection, and I like being on the edge of it. I don’t want everything to be about all of the same shit. This record has a whole bunch of love, a whole bunch of fun, and a little hate,” he said. They have scheduled shows this year in the United States, Canada and Mexico.
