Having formed way back in 1981, climbing their way to the top, alongside Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth to become one of the worlds best established and most eminent Thrash Metal bands, whom after suffering countless line-up changes have reunited with Joey Belladonna to front the band’s reckoning force.
Opening with clean guitar chords, delivering a tribal setting that gains heaviness until it explodes into a full-on assault of Thrash Metal brutality. Comprising razor-sharp riffs held together by emphatic drum work, omnipresent above Belladonna’s impeccable hard-rock vocal style that ever so slightly resembles Ronnie James Dio. Building to a climatic chorus and instrumental breakdown of galloping staccato guitars draining into an instant classic guitar solo.Yet another beguiling specimen of proof that Anthrax still have the energy and skill necessary to produce horn-raising, mosh inducing metal anthems.
