ANTHRAX’s Frank Bello And Joey Belladonna Share Their Dream Tour; Video

A new episode of Dream Tour has been uploaded by Digital Tour Bus and each episode features a touring act discussing who they would put on their ideal tour if there were no limits. In this episode, Frank Bello and Joey Belladonna, from the legendary thrash metal band, Anthrax, reveals who they would want on their dream tour lineup, during their recent North American tour with Volbeat and Crobot.

Bello would love to tour with AC/DC and pleads for Angus Young to give them a call and make it happen while Belladonna’s dream would be touring with Led Zeppelin and The Who.

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian's assessment of Anthrax's new album - which the band is currently finishing up as the follow-up to 2011's Worship Music - is unapologetically straightforward.

"It sounds great, and when you hear it you can formulate your own opinion," Ian tells Billboard. "We just do what we do. We write songs, and when we think we're ready to go in, we record them. It's just a case of knowing when we're ready and feeling right, and at the same time knowing when we're done. It's like an artist doing a painting: He or she has to know when to stop painting."

Anthrax are expected to release the new album in early-2016 via Megaforce Records.

In this 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.
