Anthrax premiered their new single on the BBC Radio 1 Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter last night. The world première of the track ‘Breathing Lighting’ comes from For All Kings, releasing on February 26th from Nuclear Blast Records. You can heart the track from BBC Radio 1 on the widget below at about the 5.30 mark.
The artwork For All Kings was created by artist and frequent Anthrax collaborator Alex Ross. Charlie Benante comments:
“The cover art for this record is again done by Alex Ross, who is probably one of the greatest artists living. And he did our previous covers.”
“My idea for this one was to show this hall and these huge statues of these kings — who, of course, are us — and trying to tie in the last album cover with these creatures who are drawn into this room with our ANTHRAX ‘A.’ This one, you’ll see those creatures in this hall kind of trying to reach up at these kings. We tried to tie in the last two album covers with this album cover. And when you see it, it’s beautiful. It’s grandiose. It just has this beautiful look to it. And, yeah, it’s gonna be a great album cover.”
