ANTHRAX Drummer CHARLIE BENANTE On Filming Kings Among Scotland DVD - "We Chose Scotland Because Of The Vibe That We've Had There Throughout The Years"; Video

Anthrax will release a live-in-concert DVD, Kings Among Scotland, on April 27th via Megaforce. Charlie Benante has just posted this video, in which he talks about the filming of the live set, the decision to film in Scotland, and the challenge of playing some of the songs live for the first time ever.

The two-hour Kings Among Scotland was filmed on February 15th, 2017 at the band's sold-out concert at Barrowland Ballroom, the historic venue in Glasgow. The disc incorporates the band's entire live show, and includes gems like "Madhouse," "I Am the Law," "Breathing Lightning" and "Indians." The disc also features interviews, behind-the-scenes footage and other B-roll shot on the band's tour bus, backstage, in hotels and elsewhere, plus a "gear rundown" from each of the band members.

Kings Among Scotland was produced, directed, filmed and edited for Film24Productions by Paul M. Green (Opeth, The Damned, The Levellers), with the sound mixed by Anthrax studio producer Jay Ruston. Kings Among Scotland can be pre-ordered now by going to anthrax.com.

Anthrax, along with Lamb Of God, Behemoth and Testament, will support Slayer on the first leg, North America, of its final world tour.
