ANTHRAX Release "A Skeleton In The Closet Video From Chile On Hell DVD

Anthrax have released a video for "A Skeleton In The Closet", featured on the upcoming Chile On Hell concert DVD, out next week.

Before you get down to moshing in the privacy of your own home, do some serious partying in either Los Angeles or New York when Anthrax's Chile On Hell live DVD premieres on Monday, September 15th, the day before its general release. And, not only will attendees be among the first to see the thrash-masters performing an extended set that features all the fan-favorites in front of a sold-out, rabid crowd in Santiago, Chile, but each event will feature a special Q&A; - Scott Ian and Chile On Hell's producer Jay Rustin at the L.A. screening, and Anthrax's Frank Bello at New York's.

The premiere is free to fans who pre-order the Chile On Hell Blu-ray or DVD from either Vintage Vinyl in Fords, NJ, Looney Tunes in West Babylon, NY, or Amoeba Records in Los Angeles, CA.  Each pre-order comes with one wristband that entitles the holder to attend the premiere.  Wristbands are limited, and when they're gone, they're gone.

The New York premiere will take place at 9 PM, ET at Cinema Village, 22 E. 12th Street; go here, or here for all details.

The L.A. premiere is set for 9 PM, PT at the Downtown Independent Theatre, 251 S. Main Street; more details are available here.

Chile On Hell was filmed at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile on May 10th, 2013, and features Anthrax - Joey Belladonna/vocals, Scott Ian/guitar, Charlie Benante/drums, Frank Bello/bass and Jon Donais/lead guitar - performing an extended set that featured songs from the band's entire catalogue - all the fan-favorites including "I Am The Law", "Indians", "Madhouse", "Caught In A Mosh", "The Devil You Know" and "I'm Alive" included.

Chile On Hell will be available on DVD and Blu-Ray, was recorded in 5.1 Surround Sound, and will retail for $16.98. Itl was produced by Jay Ruston and filmed by City Drive Entertainment Group and DC3 Global. The DVD's cover art was designed by Stephen Thompson who partnered with Benante to "redesign" the artwork from last year's Anthems EP.

"Santiago was the perfect place to film the show for this," said Anthrax's Charlie Benante. "When we'd played there in the past, we'd finish our set, play our encore and go back to the dressing room. But every time, the fans would continue to scream and cheer and clap. I mean, they went on and on, they wouldn't stop. One time Scott and I walked out to the side of the stage just to watch what was going on in the audience, it was intense. Why wouldn't we want to film a DVD in front of an audience like that? Plus, the time was right to do this DVD."

The band was in the home stretch of a three-plus-year campaign to record and support Worship Music and the Anthems EP, a period of time that was loaded with high points: the return of "classic era" vocalist Joey Belladonna, Worship Music making the band's highest chart debut in two decades, the series of Big Four shows - Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer and Metallica, the four bands that wrote the speed and thrash metal road map - that culminated in the September 2011 Big Four spectacular at Yankee Stadium in the band's home town of New York, Anthrax Day declared in the Bronx, becoming the first metal band to have its music ("Got The Time") played on Mars, two Grammy nominations, and sold out shows in every corner of the globe.

"We wanted to finish on a high note," Benante continued, "we didn't want to look back and regret that we didn't record the live show."
