Anthrax have always operated at the crossroads of thrash's raw aggression and genuine melodic ambition, a combination that helped them stand apart from their Big Four peers across four decades of recording and relentless touring. A decade between albums means this return carries real weight for a fanbase that's stayed devoted through every lineup shift and era. Multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York heavy metal titans ANTHRAX—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—will unleash their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO September 18 via Megaforce Records. It marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. CURSUM PERFICIO will be available in various physical configurations to pre-order/pre-save; click HERE. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work.For CURSUM PERFICIO’s first single and video, “It’s For The Kids,” the quintet bulldoze the way for the album’s impact. It’s a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple.
