Breezy's Top 15 of 2011! #6

This record is one I've been waiting for a long time to hear.  Finally, they are back. #6 Anthrax - Worship Music.

It's been 8 years since the last Anthrax album We've Come For You All.  Alot has happened in the meantime with singers Bellandonna and Bush in and out, but here we have what I have been waiting for, a new record with the (almost) classic lineup.  It's fresh and heavy, and true to their roots.  Of all the Big 4's last few releases, Anthrax is the one that is keeping it true, but modern, and sticking to their guns.  There has been a lot of hype around this record, and for good reason.


The opening trio of tracks, Earth On Hell, The Devil You Know, and Fight 'em Til You Can't set the pace for the album, and show that Anthrax is back in a big way. Great melodies, crushing guitars,and as always, the mighty Benante kicking the crap out of the kit. Fave tracks are the ones mentioned above, along with the brilliant In The End, possibly one of the best tracks they have ever recorded.  Check out a little more modern sounds in the track Crawl, a nod to the Bush years in terms of sound.  I'm glad the boys are back, I've always been a fan and have been waiting for this record.  Welcome back, I'm already looking forward to the next one.  This is a clip of the track In The End, a tribute to the late RJD and Dimebag Darrell. Cheers!
