Anthrax will kick off a huge year of touring in 2017 with their first headline tour of Europe in over a decade. The band will also release a limited tour edition of their acclaimed album For All Kings on February 17th. Full details below:
The album will release on February 17th. In addition to the regular album, it will include ‘Vice Of the People’ (previously only available in Japan) as well as a bonus disc of demo versions of several of the album’s songs.
Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante commented:
“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 [Ian, guitar] lyrics to Frank [Bello, bass] and Joey’s [Belladonna, vocals] ideas and melodies to Jon’s [Donais] lead guitar. This is our way of making Anthrax music — ENJOY!”
All shows on the tour will see the band celebrating the 30th anniversary of the release of its classic Among The Living album by performing the LP live in its entirety along with fan favorites from throughout the band’s rich 35-year career.
