ANTHRAX To Record Drums For New Album On Game Of Thrones Set
July 7, 2014, 10 years ago
According to an update from Metal Hammer, Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has revealed the band will record drums for a new album in the throne room of the hit TV series Game Of Thrones, which forms part of the HBO show's set in Belfast, Northern Ireland.
Ian has a friend who works in HBO's accounting department and he was introduced to Game Of Thrones executive producer DB Weiss – who it turns out is an Anthrax fanatic.
Ian tells the Metal Hammer Magazine show on TeamRock Radio: “I asked Dan Weiss 'Hey man, what would be the possibility of us recording the drums for the next album in the throne room?' Like we bring a mobile studio and set up the drums, mic everything and record in here. He says 'Oh my God that would be the sickest thing ever. We know the guys that can make that possible.' All of you out there who watch Game Of Thrones, much like me, probably think it is a very metal TV show. And just know, the reason for that is that one of the creators of it is a huge metalhead.”
Ian says the band's 11th album will be released in 2015.
