Anthrax will release a limited tour edition of their For All Kings album on February 17th. The set will include the track “Vice Of The People” (previously only available in Japan), as well as a bonus disc of demos.

Drummer Charlie Benante states: “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 lyrics to Frank and Joey’s ideas and melodies to Jon’s lead guitar. This is our way of making Anthrax music – ENJOY!”

“Suzerain”, an intense and politically-charged track from For All Kings, is lyricist Scott Ian's musings about a leader who would be so powerful that all nations, all people, would come under his benevolent authority, and in return, he would bring peace, happiness and prosperity to all of Earth.

"Mankind keep making the same mistakes over and over," said Ian. "You'd think that after thousands of years of religious, economic and ideologic wars, we'd have figured out how to live with each other, but we haven't. That's what drew me to the idea for “Suzerain”.”

The "Suzerain" video incorporates the game of chess along with images of battles fought by ancient empires to illustrate imperial power. You can check out Anthrax's new lyric video below.

"Suzerain" lyrics:

It's everything, what's wrong with it?
It's everything, what's wrong with us?

Null, rictus grin, beyond death
And it's after
Me, so insane, suzerain
And he's calling

Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over
Come see, with me as everything turns
Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is solved it only starts over
You'll see with me as everything burns
What comes after
What comes after me

A history, of love and pain
In this story it's all the same

Void, rictus grin, stand in sin
Rule the rulers
Blood, on the plains, suzerain
And he's screaming

Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over
Come see with me as everything turns
Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is solved it only starts over
You'll see with me as everything burns
Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over
I'll be set free, free from this memory
What comes after
What comes after me

NOTHING IS OVER, nothing is over
You'll see with me as everything burns
Nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over, nothing is over
I'll be set free, free from this memory
What comes after, what comes after me
