Anthrax is nearing the finish line with the recording of the band's follow up to 2011's Grammy-nominated album, Worship Music. The new album is due out in early-2016 via Megaforce Records.

In this new in-studio clip, Frank Bello talks about Anthrax's writing and recording process, Charlie Benante gets into the pressure that Anthrax has felt with this new project and gives his thoughts about why the new album is "the next level" for Anthrax, and Scott Ian explains why the band recorded the 18 new songs in batches.  

Anthrax will be hitting the road late-summer-into-fall, playing major US festivals, a series of North American dates with Motörhead, including Motörhead's Motorboat cruise, and then dates in Japan and Europe, many with Slayer.  The full itinerary is below.
