Anthrax 40th anniversary tour review.

Pittsburgh PA – Stage AE August 22, 2022

anthrax tour review 2022

Kinetic energy grew as the crowd of approximately 2000 metal thrashing maniacs crammed in Stage AE on Pittsburgh’s North Side. The anticipation snapped when the house lights went down and a pre-recorded video of rock and metal legends was projected onto a giant white scrim that covered the entire front of the stage. There were clips of Kerry King (Slayer), Roberto Trujillo (Metallica) Henry Rollins (Rollins Band, Black Flag), Philip Anselmo (Pantera, Down, Superjoint Ritual), Slash , Mark Osegueda (Death Angel) Gene Simmons (Kiss), Cory Taylor (Slipknot, Stone Sour),   Chuck D (Public Enemy, Prophets of Rage), Dave Mustain (Megadeth) , Brann Dailor (Mastodon) along with comedian Brian Posehn and actors Norman Reedus and Keanu Reeves to name a few. Each artist had a brief clip about how amazing and influential Anthrax has been in their 40 years of existence.

As the video faded bright spotlights from behind the band projected silhouettes of vocalist Joe Belladonna, bassist Frank Bello and rhythm guitarist Scot Ian’s onto the white scrim while Scott repeatedly strummed the thunderous opening cords of “Among the Living” from the album of the same name. As the curtain fell reveling the band and their stage set, the band tore through the track with ease exemplifying why they are at the forefront in the genre.

With out missing a beat Anthrax jumped in to another seminal and genre defining tracks; “Caught in a Mosh” causing the circle pit that had began during the first song to expand and grow a bit more intense. The set continued with a pair of old school thrash metal classics with “Madhouse” from the band’s 1985 release Spreading the Disease and “Metal Thrashing Mad” from 1984’s Fist Full of Metal .

Keeping the energy high and the pit moving the band slammed right into “Keep it in the Family” and the 1990’s MTV hit “Antisocial”, followed by the Judge Dredd comic inspired song “I Am the Law”. Later in the set the band played the only John Bush era song “Only”, which despite its difference in style fit nicely in the mix. Next the venue latterly shook with the deafening rumble of the bass line for “Got the Time” from bassist Frank Bello.

anthrax tour review 2022

As veterans of the stage the band knew the crowd needed a breather. The band cleared the stage and guitarist Scott Ian stepped up to the mic with a lone spot light shining on him from above. He thanked the fans supporting them over the decades and that they were her to get away from the “poli-tricks” and to listen to some “METAL!” He also relayed a story about how when they were on their very first tour that they stopped in Pittsburgh. Apparently they had been on the road for a few weeks and Frank (Bello) had not called his mom in several days. In this era before cell phones that she was so work that she had not heard for her “baby boy” that she drove all the way from New Jersey to Pittsburgh to make sure he was OK.

With that they broke into the hyper rhythm of the rap-metal hit “Bring the Noise”.  Thought they only played the one verse with Scott rapping and the chorus/hook then slide into “Indians”, once again returning to their classic album “Among the Living [1987]. This song pulled everything together, highlighting Joey’s signature vocals, the dual guitar crunch and rhythmic power of the band. Scott mid-song scream of “WAR DANCE” served to whip the natives into a frenzy.

anthrax tour review 2022

As the song “Indians” wound down the deep pounding of the rhythmic drums began to overpower all the other instruments. Gradually drummer Charlie Benante began morphing his rhythm into another song. Soon it became apparent that he was playing the intro to Pantera’s “Domination”. Quickly the rest of the band joined in giving the crowd a sneak peak at what they can expect from the Pantera reunion tour that will feature Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante sitting in for the lat Vinnie Paul. Over all it was a great show, by a band who shows no signs of letting up in the near future. They were tight, never missed a beat and Joey’s vocals seem to get better with age. The 40 th Anniversary tour continues through the end of August with Hatebreed and Black Label Society .

Ministry – HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES

anthrax tour review 2022

As we near the collapse of mankind and the imminent doom of our political system, a perfect stage has been set for the outspoken rebels to flood the airwaves with dissident upheaval bathed in musical bliss. With the end looming, no greater landscape could welcome the reemergence of the enigmatic Al Jourgensen and company with their latest release, HOPIUMFORTHEMASSES , via Nuclear Blast Records . Scheduled for a March 1st 2024 release, Uncle Al, along with guitarist Cesar Soto , Paul D’Amour , formerly of TOOL , on bass, John Bechdel on keys, Roy Mayorga (ex- STONE SOUR ) on drums, and newly added guitarist Monte Pittman , form the current incarnation of the long-lived Ministry.

anthrax tour review 2022

This album is an open-book commentary on our American society at large, bathed in slow-burn angst and distortion injected with punk rock/thrash riffs and samples galore.

Within the opening seconds of track one, a female voice proclaims, “What was once forbidden becomes fringe, and what was once fringe becomes mainstream.” Soon Al’s vocals take over with a distorted and effect heavy declaration of “horny little boys filled with hormones and hate, waging war on women ‘’cause they can’t get a date,” thus laying the groundwork for the entire album. As “B.D.E.” (Big Dick Energy) continues, a heavy yet simplistic guitar riff drives the song forward while increasing the energy level and tempo. Al’s vocals continue with his immediate, recognizable attitude and tone, stating, “No one can justify the toxic behavior.”

“Goddamn White Trash” is perhaps the most accessible and rythematic song on the release. It has hints of the Psalm 69 days of the band. Chants of “USA, USA” ring out along side screeching guitar noise reminiscent of Mike Scaccia ’s playing style.

Track three is titled “Just Stop Oil,” and it dives into yet another realm of political advocacy. Jourgensen delivers, “Dehumanization at a cellular level. Policy set by the corporate devils, There must be resistance, we cannot be silenced, There is the existence of possible violence” in a growled whisper.

On the track “Aryan Embarrassment,”  we are treated to a none-more-fitting guest appearance from what I believe is activist and Dead Kennedys front man Jello Biafra , who delivers a rap-style series of vocal lines backed by a driving rhythm. Jello wails, “How on Earth did all this happen? Plagues of militantly stupid” Followed by “Scamming on the punk scene.  Oi, oi, oi. Ain’t proud of you boys at all.”

Another standout track is “New Religion” which starts with a classic industrial riff and buries itself in the repetitive, slow-burn heaviness that has become the Ministry standard as of late. Followed by “It’s Not Pretty,” which opens as a haunting acoustic piece that I imagine being set in a post apocalyptic landscape with the reverberating lyrics “ It’s not pretty. This is the end of the world to me. This is the end of society.”

“Cult of Suffering” strays from the format of the balance of the album and could be firmly placed on an Alabama 3 album, and it may feel at home on a Surgical Meth Machine release.

Rounding out the album is a little ditty called “Ricky’s Hand.” This is a synth pop throwback to the early days of Ministry and leaves us longtime fans eager to hear the longtime teased rerecording of some of the very early Ministry material. This track has a Devo , Information Society , and even Depeche Mode feel to it and is a perfect bookend to a solid release from an iconic band.

Ministry will be on tour throughout the summer with Rob Zombie , Alice Cooper and Helmet .

Concert Reviews

Bloodywood: concert review pittsburgh, pa.

anthrax tour review 2022

In a realm of modern music overflowing with musical genres, there are few bands that possess a unique sonic force that defies categorization while leaving listeners spellbound and yearning for more. One such band is Bloodywood . They are a musical force that blends cultural heritage with a relentless fusion of metal, hip-hop, and traditional Indian rhythms.

As a band, they are carving a distinctive path and leaving an indelible mark on the modern musical landscape. Their raw energy, cultural fusion, and a fearless spirit of rebellion is a testament to the transformative power of music, transcending boundaries and uniting people from all corners of the globe. With their infectious energy and thought-provoking lyrics, the band has built an ardent following, igniting a revolution that stretches far beyond the realm of music or the shores of any country.

anthrax tour review 2022

Born in the vibrant streets of New Delhi, India, in 2016, Bloodywood showcases their unwavering commitment to pushing boundaries, both musically and socially, as they fearlessly tackle pressing issues and ignite conversations.

The sonic odyssey of Bloodywood graced the stage of the Roxian Theater in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania, which is nestled in the shadow of Pittsburgh only a short distance down the Ohio River from the infamous Steel City.

The show opened with a blast of energy from the British duo WARGASM , whose stage presence was undeniable. Sam Matlock , Milkie Way , and company tore through an unadulterated set of nu-metal tracks tinged with punk and electronica that included “Super Fiend”, “D.R.I.L.D.O”, and “Rage All Over”. They followed up with the video sensation “Fukstar” and wound down the set with some crowd surfing and a cover of N*E*R*D’s “Lapdance” and closed out the set with the track “Spit”.

anthrax tour review 2022

After a brief break in the mayhem, Vended made the stage rumble to life. Their agro-metal induced a great deal of similarity to early Slipknot, and that is not surprising given that frontman Griffen Taylor is the son of Slipknot’s Corey Taylor and Simon Crahan is the son of percussionist Shawn ‘Clown’ Crahan. The band sounded tight and featured competent song composition; however, the vocalist needed to learn how to work the stage. It was as if his shoes were nailed to the floor at center stage.

anthrax tour review 2022

As stage lighting flickered to life, the crowd prepared to be immersed in a symphony of cultural fusion, electrifying riffs, and unapologetic lyrics. We all knew that we were about to experience something quite special. As the sonic saga began, drummer Vishesh Singh sat behind his kit, awash in blue and purple lights, as the anticipation grew more intense. The intro track for “Gaddaar” echoed throughout the theater before the bombastic bass, gnarly guitar riffs, and the thump of the drums shook the walls as the entire band burst onto the stage to metaphorically say, “Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to an electrifying evening filled with raw energy enshrined in a mesmerizing tapestry of sound that defies conventions.”

anthrax tour review 2022

The crowd began losing themselves in the pounding intensity, their bodies moving in sync with each thunderous beat as Sarthak Pahwa wailed away on his dhol. The band seamlessly migrates from the thunderous “”Gaddaar” to “BSDK.exe” from their most recent release Rakshak that couples a more hip-hop vibe on the verses with a crushing guitar rhythm from Karan Katiyar throughout the rest of the track.

anthrax tour review 2022

Adorned in their fusion of metal attire and traditional Indian clothing, twin vocalists Jayant Bhadula (vocals and growls) and Raoul Kerr (rap vocals) commanded a powerful presence as they ran through “Aaj” with its hypnotic flute licks and downright brutal lead vocals. The five minute long song pushed the audience into heightened frenzy before slapping them across the chin with “Dana Dan”. Which had Raoul Kerr rapping/screaming “I put a fist through the face of a rapist and yeah, I taped this. For the viewing pleasure of the nameless faces he disgraces.”

anthrax tour review 2022

Up next was the more mellow and chill track “Jee Veerey” that featured more of Karan Katiyar’s enigmatic flute playing along with a more melodic yet still intense vocal delivery from Jayant Bhadula as he sang in his native tongue.

The track “Zanjeero Se” was followed by “Machi Bhasad (Expect a Riot)” which truly showcased the rhythmic prowess of drummer Vishesh Singh and dhol master Sarthak Pahwa. It was so enthralling to watch Sarthak perform on such a simplistic instrument and to make it so vibrant and energetic. His playing transports Bloodywood’s music to a completely different level.

As the set reached its crescendo, it was obvious that the sweat-drenched band had poured their hearts and souls into every note. Wrapping up their set was the sing-along inducing “Ari Ari” that left the crowd breathless and drenched in the passion that radiated from the stage.

anthrax tour review 2022

But… There is more. As an encore, the band jumps back in to the opening track “Gaddaar” thus cranking up the mosh-pit’s intensity to eleven, causing every person down front to expel every ounce of remaining energy from their bodies.

It was incredibly refreshing to see a band that, in some magical way is able to unite people regardless of age, background, or nationality. To see people connected by their love of the music and a band. The shared experience created an atmosphere of camaraderie and acceptance, where strangers become friends, and barriers dissolve in the face of the music.

Unfortunately, this was the last stop on Bloodywood’s North American tour, save some festival dates. Hopefully, they will be returning to the states soon. If you have the opportunity to see them live, do not sleep on it. I promise you will not be disappointed.

Cattle Decapitation Terrasite Album Review

Avatar

Terrasite by Cattle Decapitation

anthrax tour review 2022

Today, 05/12/2023, saw the release of the 8th studio album from San Diego’s own Cattle Decapitation. The follow up to 2019s Death Atlas, Terrasite shows how a band can grow and evolve while staying true to their roots. Starting as a grind band in the late 90s and with relentless touring and continual releases this album shows them further building upon elements of their previous albums.

The album has great production. The copy I used primarily for my review is the vinyl version which is 45 RPM and it sounds great. In particular, I think the drum production is particularly well executed. A lot of times with death metal the kick drum is either too “bassy” so it’s difficult to hear or it’s the other way and you can hear all the hits without the bass tone. This album is a great balance of the two. You can hear clearly how fast drummer, Dave McGraw, is going without losing the “thump”. The blast beats alone will rattle the brain. The guitars are grimy and dirty with some blistering leads. The bass rattles while still having a solid low end. You can really hear it in songs like “Solastalgia” which has a small bass lead in it which I didn’t see coming and was pulled off great.

The vocals, I feel compelled to say that Travis Ryan has to be one of the most underrated and versatile vocalists in metal. Highs that make the ears bleed, lows that are gurgling, wet and gross sounding. Harsh singing reminiscent of 80s thrash bands, and clean singing that are almost, but not quite, reminiscent of the late Peter Steele from Type O Negative.

anthrax tour review 2022

Lyrically they stay on brand ranging from the end of humanity, apocalyptic themes, and mistreating humans the same way humans mistreat animals. Very dark and grotesque subject matter. When asked about the lyrics to this album Ryan states “I wanted to do the 180° opposite of Death Atlas – I wanted this to take place in the daylight. I’ve always found daytime horror to be really unsettling so I wanted to make sure what was going on on the cover took place in the light of day, which also finds its place within the lyrics.”

Tracks like “A Photic Doom” showcase traditional style death metal guitar riffing, with elements of tech death and slam. “Dead End Residents” leans into some of the darker ends of thrash metal and is reminiscent of bands like Slayer. “Scourge of the Offspring” shows an impressive command of melody without sacrificing the grime that covers the album while almost coming off as anthemic.

The album closes with the ten minute epic “Just Another Body” which begins with a piano melody that would be at home in a late 70s era horror movie while building into something that’s not quite death, not quite thrash, and not quite grind. Ryan uses the full range of his voice while there are symphonics layered in the background to keep the melody from being lost while still playing with grind based riffs and blast beats.

Overall if you’re looking for a strong contender for death metal album of the year I will highly recommend this. As of this writing I haven’t been able to stop listening to it for three days now. The album currently available on all the usual streaming platforms and physical copies can be purchased here . ( www.indiemerch.com/cattled ecap )

LIVE REVIEW: Anthrax with special guests Black Label Society and Hatebreed. Live at the Fillmore, Minneapolis, Minnesota 8/5/2022

14 August 2022 Tommy Sommers

anthrax tour review 2022

Anthrax   came to town on their 40th anniversary tour and brought two incredible bands to support them. First one up was   Hatebreed .  The fans showed up early and the place was packed before they even went on. they are easily the heaviest band in the lineup. They worked their way through a 15-song set that included “Proven”, “This is Now”, “Empty Promises”, “Tear it Down”, “live for This”, and “I Will Be Heard”. It was an extremely solid set that really got the crowd going. They are a fantastic band with great musicianship.

anthrax tour review 2022

Second on the bill was   Black Label Society   featuring   Zakk Wylde   on guitar. Every time I see this band, I like them more and more. The songwriting is exceptional along with the musicianship. They opened their set with “Funeral Ball” And ended with “Still Born”. They dedicated the song “In This River” to the memory of   Dimebag Darrell   and   Vinnie Paul . Rumor has it that Pantera will be going on tour next year. It’s the lineup includes   Zakk Wylde   on guitar and   Charlie Benante   from   Anthrax   on drums.

Black Label Society   played a very long set that also included “Overlord”, “Fire it Up”, “Heart of Darkness”, and “Trampled Down Below” Just to name a few. They are a solid of a band as I have ever seen. I highly recommend checking all these bands out when you get a chance.

anthrax tour review 2022

Headliners   Anthrax   gave the fans what they were there for! A solid set of songs from their entire carrier. They opened with “Among the Living”. They played a lot of the songs you would expect them to like “Caught in a Mosh”, “I Am the Law”, “Bring the Noise”, and “Indians”. But the song that really pushed the crowd over the edge into insanity was “Madhouse”. Who doesn’t like a good mosh pit or crowd surfing? I guess the only ones that don’t are the poor security guards. But they did a great job of keeping everybody safe.

anthrax tour review 2022

One of the many things I’ve always appreciated about   Anthrax   is how much energy they give you at every show. All five of the band members are fully present and doing everything they can to entertain that audience. I really like the setup too as far as the look of the stage for anthrax. It was colorful with some stairs and the lighting was excellent. It just added a lot to the performance. Let’s face it they are one of the BIG 4 and there’s a reason. It was just great to go to the Fillmore which is one of my favorite concert venues in Minnesota and see a sellout crowd attending something that’s not a rap concert. I stood out front after the show was over and saw fans wearing shirts from all three of these bands. Everyone was represented and it was just a great night of loud rock’n’roll music.

Live Review: Anthrax with Black Label Society and Exodus (Grey Eagle Events Centre, Calgary, AB: 1/22/23)

anthrax tour review 2022

Those of you who were early thrash fans during that vaunted period known as “back in the day” will remember being pilloried by the majority of the metal world for daring to open your ears to the then-new style of sound. It was a sound that injected hardcore punk energy into metal’s thick and viscous origins and did it at velocities that had genteel segments of the metal community — fans and press included — running for the hills and screaming for vengeance. Comparing those times to today (and the genre’s heyday), it’s sometimes difficult to believe that thrash was once metal’s red-headed step-child, a bunch of fucking noise some said, that would never amount to anything. Since 1981, the year New York’s Anthrax gathered to go metal thrashing mad, even those naysayers and doubters and relics working on their ass-grooves at booths at the Rainbow have come around and 40-plus years later we’re at the stage of the game where thrash metal’s Big Four remain as successful as…blah, blah, blah.  

anthrax tour review 2022

I’m going to hazard a guess that you don’t need to be handed a thrash history refresher, but the back of my brain still has a giddy time reconciling the genre’s scuzzy beginnings with the fact that I just witnessed 40-plus years of Anthrax in a ginormous casino concert hall/events centre festooned with carpeted floors and chintzy chandeliers where over-priced concert beers, foot-long hot dogs and gourmet burgers were as plentiful as band merch. It’s a far cry from seeing Anthrax, Exodus and the like in cramped and sweaty shit boxes back in the day. As I’m sure everyone involved is much happier at the upgrade, it’s still amazing to think that the music that was once derided as a bunch of bullshit is now hobnobbing with games of chance and still coming out as the lucky one. Then again, all it takes are a couple of fights, a couple dudes passed out in the hallway and more than a couple of spilled beers to show that the more things change the more they stay the same.

On that note, openers and ‘Big 6’ members (along with Testament) Exodus took to the stage with the same energetic vim and athletic vigor as…well, every other time I’ve seen them going back to the mid-‘80s. Possessors of arguably the most brutal and crushing guitar tone in thrash history, the Bay Area war-horses emerged from the wings like bats out of hell straddling gun powder-filled missiles. Over the course of a relatively scant 45-minutes, the legendary and notorious slay team faithfully represented their own 40+ years of existence, including showcasing the diversity available on newest album, Persona Non Grata . The band knows where their bread is buttered though, as the set leaned heavily on Bonded by Blood with stops along the way for sonic look-sees at Fabulous Disaster , Tempo of the Damned and Blood In, Blood Out . Accompanying classics like “Strike of the Beast” and “A Lesson in Violence” was their always entertaining stage presence, rife with loads of cross-stage skipping, Lee Altus miming out lyrics and singing along as much as playing guitar, a frontline of friendly violent hair whipping and neck abuse, and vocalist Zetro Sousa’s uncanny ability to engage eight different members of the front row in set-long, metal sign language conversations. Mad props should be reserved for drummer Tom Hunting for recently beating squamous cell carcinoma as hard and savagely as he knocked out the two-beats and skank patterns during “The Toxic Waltz” and “Piranha.” Fuck cancer, indeed.

The internet has informed me that Black Label Society has been a band since 1998. This means that yours truly has gone almost 25 years without (knowingly, at least) hearing this band. That particular cherry was finally popped tonight and it’s not a milestone I’m entirely happy about it. Definitely not as happy as the pure elation being expressed by the band’s devoted and faithful, but after my first experience with the band, I’m failing to understand what the big deal is. What with all the time I spent in the pre-show line surrounded by dudes in Black Label Society leather cuts, “motorcycle enthusiasts’ club” inspired merch, the band throwing around of terms like “chapter” and “family” and the reference of members as “Father so-and-so,” there’s a distinct fictitious biker gang air to all of this. Ironically enough, as a parallel, Black Label Society comes across as the Sons of Anarchy of hard rock/metal, except not nearly as entertaining and with a lot less random gun play. This can’t be the first and only time BLS and SOA have been compared/referenced/connected to/equated with one another, but witnessing the spectacle firsthand is uncanny, if not hilarious. The glaring plot holes, untenable situations, ridiculous chase scenes, comical dialogue and cartoonish violence are parallel to the unadventurous and elementary rhythmics, collection of dumbed down, pinch harmonic-peppered riffs that the likes of Pantera, The Atomic Bitchwax, Down and Monster Magnet were smart enough to discard, and Zakk Wylde’s tuneless, yet soulful vocal moan. In the end, it came across as a gathering of low common denominators that together have struck a chord with those looking for a safe expression of rebellion, intrigue and community wherein consumers look to turn their brains off for an hour or two in order to forget the day.

Full disclosure: Anthrax was always, personally, my fourth favourite of the ‘Big 4.’ That’s not to say I didn’t and don’t still get my panties in a twist whenever Fistful of Metal , Among the Living , Persistence of Time , Sound of White Noise and their various covers make their way off the shelf. But not everyone can own the podium and that a few thousand folks and I are still feeling the excitement of songs that are as much as four decades old — and that a few thousand of others are feeling that same excitement for songs that were written before they were born — is indicative of veracity, staying power and host of well-crafted numbers.

The celebration of 40 years of Anthrax began with a slickly compiled and edited video testimonial from fans across the spectrum; from Keanu Reeves, Lady Gaga and Gene Simmons to members of Death Angel, Refused, Slayer and a bevy of the usual collaborators and suspects. Once the curtain came down on the two-tiered stage and thematic, seizure-inducing light show (the red and blue cop lights during “I Am the Law” were a stellar touch) it was straight into the hits. As with Exodus, Anthrax have been doing this long enough to know the drill, how to rile up and communicate with a crowd, plus this occasion is a celebration of their career. So, as tempting as it might be to pull an Iron Maiden and bust out a set of deep cuts, Anthrax know the biggest reaction is going to come from “Among the Living,” “Caught in a Mosh,” “Metal Thrashing Mad,” “Madhouse,” “Keep in the Family,” “Indians” and their cover of Trust’s “Anti-Social,” which might as well be their own song at this stage in the game. The energy was lightning, the production value was a spectacle in and of itself and Joey Belladonna’s voice along with Scott Ian and Frank Bello’s onstage flurry of movement (and down picking) belied their chronological ages. Despite even the band themselves not seeming to be entirely convinced of much of their post-1993 output, this, as far as a exhibition lauding them for doing their thing through ups and downs over an unexpectedly vast stretch of time, they certainly brought the…ahh, you know.

If you like heavy metal, power metal and thrash metal then, Friday August 12, 2022 the House of Blues in Orlando, Florida was the place to be. The doors opened at 6:00 PM and the fans started pouring in, in a race to get to the front of the stage.

7:10 PM the lights go down and Hatebreed makes their way to the stage with “Proven”. The sound was nothing short of amazing. Knowing how short some of Hatebreed’s songs are, it’s not a simple job knowing that you only have three songs to get your photos when you are also wanting to witness the metal chaos going on only feet in front of you. Needless to say, “Destroy Everything” and “A Stroke of Red” blew right by. Standing back watching the show and those in front of the stage, I realize that this is not just some opening act trying to make their way into the main stage, it is already happening. Circle pits, mosh pits, heads moving with the beat of the drums, singing word for word from what looks like most everyone in the venue. Hatebreed is an absolute must see show when they come to your town.

8:25 PM Guitar starts to the sound of “Funeral Bell” and the curtain drops with Black Label Society in full gear with Zakk Wylde center stage. The roar from the crowd nearly matches the loudness of the music coming from the stage. Zakk, being no stranger to solos and catchy guitar licks, jumps into a heavy solo to start “Heart of Darkness”. Slowing it down a bit with a tribute to Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul, the band segues to “In This River”. Picking up back up, it wasn’t long before one of the best guitar duels were about to take place. Finishing “Fire It Up” both Zakk and guitarist Dario Lorina met at the center stage facing each other and holding their guitars over and behind their head while dueling it out for a little over five minutes leading into “Suicide Messiah”. Finishing the set with “Stillborn” Zakk walks over to the edge up the stage and laid his guitar down giving it a quick strum and walks away. While throwing up souvenirs to the audience, each of the band members step over to hit the guitar strings to keep the sound going until they finally exit the stage.

10:05 PM July 18, 1981 was the beginning of Anthrax. Clips from the 40th Anniversary Celebrations projected on the white curtain that is drawn across the stage. Stage spotlight opens and through the curtain, from my viewpoint I can see Scott Ian going hard on his guitar to “Among the Living” and the curtain drops… It’s Anthrax with one of the largest stage setups I have seen setup in the House of Blues Orlando. The next song up, “Caught in a Mosh”, is exactly what the floor started to look like. The mosh pits have started and kept going right into what the room was feeling like, a “Madhouse”. Listening to the vocals of Joey Belladonna sounded like back in the early days of going to see them live. Joey then asked the big question “Do any of you like thrash metal?” The audience screams and the guitars of “Metal Thrashing Mad” start up. The complete set is full of classics and later songs alike from several albums that ranging from 1984 to 2011 including Fistful of Metal, Among the Living, Attack of the Killer B’s, Sound of White Noise, Worship Music, State of Euphoria, Persistence of Time and Spreading the Disease . If you had to rate the noise level, my guess would be close if not tied between Antisocial and Indians. Anthrax is one of those bands that you can listen to on the way to see them live, watch the show and listen to them again on the way home. You just can’t get enough.

REVIEW + PHOTOS: Anthrax w/ Black Label Society & Hatebreed | House of Blues Orlando 2022

by Randy Cook • August 22, 2022

Thrash metal titans Anthrax invaded the House of Blues in Orlando on Friday, August 12, 2022 , their tour celebrating forty years of their music and as expected this show was jam packed sold out. Supporting these legends were Black Label Society and Hatebreed (a stacked lineup of three of my personal favorite bands!) so it was no surprise that the line to enter not only wrapped around the side of the venue but all the way down to the shopping area of Disney Springs. Thankfully the dreaded rush hour Friday traffic on I-4 for the drive was forgiving and we made the trip over in near record time arriving with enough time to lounge outside of the venue before the show with some fellow photographer and metalhead friends.

Anthrax Orlando 2022

Entry into the venue was super easy and in no time I am joining my fellow brethren in the growing anticipation for Hatebreed to take the stage. I make my way down to the photo pit and am greeted by other fellow photographers who I have met at various shows and took a few moments of reflection as Hatebreed has always been my personal empowerment therapy. More than once in life their music and lyrical brilliance has helped me refocus through some personal issues and I knew tonight would be no different. As soon as the house lights went dark, the crowd roared our readiness and Hatebreed hit the stage.

Crushing through a thirteen song set list that ripped us apart from their musical ferocity yet brought us all together empowered as one. In between song banter had lead singer Jamey Jasta welcoming first timers seeing the band to the Hatebreed diehard family and reiterating that we were all there to have a good time, to keep each other safe and we all leave here with a smile – now open up that f*cking circle pit!!!! It was my eighth time seeing Hatebreed and this band delivers raw, in your face, brutal breakdowns, seriously crunchy riffs and the positive message to believe in yourself, to be the best person that you can be and that you can overcome any of life’s obstacles. Wow! What a great start to the evening.

Black Label Society was second to hit the stage and this was my third time seeing them although I had seen master axe man shredder extraordinaire Zakk Wylde once with his Zakk Sabbath project. The band is so f*cking awesome live words just do not do them justice, this is a band that if you are a heavy metal fan must be on your bucket list if you have not seen them. Mid way through their twelve song set, the band played a tribute to Dimebag and Vinnie (of Pantera) with artwork adorning each brother on the speaker stacks on both sides of the stage. Zakk mentioned how crazy and f*cked up the past couple of years have been for everyone and how good it was for the band to be able to celebrate with us, the fans, the friendship and contributions of these fallen brothers of theirs. Touching moments for sure before the volume cranked back up and our senses were back under attack from the visual and sound show before our eyes and ears. With a simple stage set up, room to roam, and small riser center stage for him to step up on and wail away for his solos, it was absolutely amazing to see this master of the guitar shred right before my eyes and lens.

Then it was time for the whole reason of the evening. Forty years of Anthrax. The lights went out as the moment arrived and from my vantage point awaiting to enter the photo pit I could see the band members at the ready while a metal celebrity tribute video played for the crowd of their four decade history that was about to be performed. This would be my fifteenth time seeing Anthrax over the years and that number gives you an indication of how much of a fan I am of theirs. I have seen them in multiple states and once on the high seas as they played on Motörhead’s Motörboat cruise a few years back.

Opening the show with Among the Living, I had to again remind myself you cannot headbang and take photos at the same time, although once that thought registered I could see that I was not alone in the photo pit waiting for a better lighting combination to start snapping away. Those first three songs that we are allowed up front always go by in the blink of any eye, much quicker when some of my favorite songs are being played by musical legends literally two feet away from me. Having to condense forty years of music over eleven studio albums the set list played as their greatest hits with no deep cut surprises. Showing the depth of the metal family, there was another touching tribute to Dimebag and Vinnie as well as Ronnie James Dio and before you know it lead singer Joey Belladonna has his headdress on and the band plays “Indians” and we as a group are called to join in and WARDANCE!!!!! Forty years on and the band sounds as kick-ass as ever! To me these songs are timeless classics and I will never tire of seeing them live as I already look forward to when I can see them again.

Being a people watcher I was sure I would see some cross-generational groups in the crowd and I did see some younger faces in the crowd as this was an all-ages show. This leg of the tour runs through the end of August before Anthrax begins European dates. If you are at all on the fence about seeing this tour when it comes to your town, take my advice and get to this show – it was a night of high energy heavy metal and by the looks on people’s faces as we left the venue, everyone did have a smile on their face. \m/

Concert Review: ANTHRAX and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY with HATEBREED in Kansas City

The midland theatre | kansas city, mo | 02 august 2022.

Anthrax

From the official tour statement: The multi-Gold and Platinum, six-time GRAMMY-nominated Anthrax spent a good portion of 2021 celebrating the band’s landmark 40th birthday. The card-carrying Big Four members’ anniversary was the subject of an 11-week series of video testimonials from artists like Chuck D., Dave Grohl, Dave Mustaine, Kerry King, Norman Reedus, Rob Zombie, Robert Trujillo, Slash, and others. Anthrax teamed up with Z-2 Comics for the “Among The Living” graphic novel that was inspired by their landmark 1987 album and released their high-end bourbon whiskey, “Anthrax XL.”  But, due to COVID, the one thing Anthrax couldn’t do, was tour, tour, tour, so the band fully intends to extend the celebration with this North American trek. Fans can expect Anthrax – Joey Belladonna/vocals, Scott Ian/rhythm guitar, Frank Bello/bass, Charlie Benante/drums, and Jon Donais/guitar – to draw from all four decades – fan favorites and deep cuts – for their nightly setlist.

ANTHRAX 40th Anniversary Tour Wisconsin (Concert Review)

ANTHRAX 40th Anniversary Tour Wisconsin (Concert Review)

The Big 4, Metallica , Slayer , Megadeth and Anthrax , on August 5 th 2022 I was finally able to say I’ve seen them all live!  Took me long enough!

The lineup was great.  Three amazing bands, Hatebreed , Black Label Society and Anthrax all playing in Oshkosh WI.  We got to the arena about an hour early to make sure we got a great spot.  Oshkosh Arena was all GA, including the seated area.  We secured front-row bleacher seats with a nice view of the stage.

Hatebreed started out the night.  As soon as they hit the stage my son and I shot to our feet, much to the chagrin of the couple behind us.  They started grumbling and I turned around to see what was up, they were glaring daggers at us for standing.  I had a moment of wondering if we should sit back down.  But no, we were at a metal show.  Who sits at a metal show??

anthrax tour review 2022

Hatebreed were incredible.  They are full of energy and totally feed off the audience.  The pit opened up, cups were thrown, and we banged our heads to their killer tunes.  Lead singer Jamey Jasta commanded the crowd to get up outta their seats and most of the fans complied.  Except the couple behind us.  Ok, they were making a point, I’m not sure what it was, but they were determined to stay seated, even during the tribute to The Black Dahlia Murder singer Trevor Strnad who we lost in May.  The dedication song was “ Last Breath ” and it was perfect, I had goosebumps .

Jasta also announced that he had bought the rights to Milwaukee Metal Fest , which will finally make its return in 2023.  I’m excited to see what the lineup will be.  It is reported that this too, is a way for Jasta to honour Trevor Strand since apparently the two of them had often discussed buying the rights.  Wisconsin will certainly appreciate it!

HATEBREED OFFICIAL WEBSITE / FACEBOOK

Black Label Society

Up next was Black Label Society .  This was our second time seeing them, but we were much closer this time and able to really see just how incredible this band is.  Not only the mind-blowing shredding of Zakk Wylde and Dario Lorina but the whole band is TIGHT.  They tore through the 12-song setlist, playing fan favourites like “ Funeral Bell ”, “ Suicide Messiah ” and ending with “ Stillborn ”.  Show highlights for me were “ In This River ” and “ Fire it Up ”.  “ In this River ” was dedicated to Dimebag Darrell and Vinnie Paul .  It opened with curtains depicting the brothers dropping over the walls of amps, then Zakk Wylde slowed down for a few minutes, trading his guitar for the piano.  It was simply beautiful and gave me the chills for the second time that night.

Anthrax started their set with a short video of various celebrities talking about Anthrax and the impact they had on them.  Then the curtain dropped and everyone and yes, I mean EVERYONE, was on their feet for these iconic masters of thrash!!  “ Among the Living ” was the opening song.  The fans were riled up and the crowd surfing was nonstop.  Anthrax are full-on energy.  They are all over the stage and constantly interacting with the crowd.

Watch ANTHRAX's Entire Performance In Orlando As Part Of Summer 2022 Tour

Fan-filmed video of ANTHRAX 's entire August 12 performance at House Of Blues in Orlando, Florida as part of the band's North American tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY and HATEBREED can be seen below.

ANTHRAX 's setlist was as follows:

01. Among The Living 02. Caught In A Mosh 03. Madhouse 04. Metal Thrashing Mad 05. Keep It In The Family 06. Antisocial (TRUST cover) 07. I Am The Law 08. In The End 09. Only 10. Got The Time (Joe Jackson cover) 11. Bring The Noise (PUBLIC ENEMY cover) 12. Indians

Last week, ANTHRAX was forced to cancel two concerts on the tour — in Austin and in Dallas — "due to a medical concern."

ANTHRAX kicked off its tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY on July 26 at Van Buren in Phoenix, Arizona.

ANTHRAX 's setlist on the trek includes the addition of the John Bush -era track "Only" , which hadn't been performed live since 2011.

"Only" originally appeared on 1993's "Sound Of White Noise" , one of four albums Bush recorded with ANTHRAX during his 13-year tenure with the band.

ANTHRAX 's tour with BLACK LABEL SOCIETY will wrap up in Philadelphia at the Fillmore on Sunday, August 28. Both bands are playing headline sets. HATEBREED , celebrating the 20th anniversary of the "Perseverance" album, is the special guest.

ANTHRAX 's latest album, "For All Kings" , which features current singer Joey Belladonna , came out in February 2016 via Nuclear Blast .

ANTHRAX celebrated its 40th anniversary in 2021 with a number of special activities and events. Formed by Ian and bassist Dan Lilker in Queens, New York on July 18, 1981, ANTHRAX was one of the first thrash metal bands to emerge from the East Coast and quickly became regarded as a leader in the genre alongside METALLICA , SLAYER and MEGADETH .

Active over the past five decades, ANTHRAX has released 11 studio albums, been awarded multiple gold and platinum certifications, received six Grammy nominations, toured the world since 1984 playing thousands of shows, including headlining Madison Square Garden and playing Yankee Stadium with the "Big Four".

"For All Kings" was called by some critics ANTHRAX 's strongest album to date. Its arrival followed a five-year period during which the group experienced a rebirth of sorts, beginning with ANTHRAX 's inclusion on the "Big Four" tour, and continuing with the release of comeback LP "Worship Music" .

ABOUT ANTHRAX: Twenty-twenty-one marks Anthrax’s 40th anniversary, during which time the band has released 11 studio albums, been awarded multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, six Grammy nominations, and a host of other accolades from the media, the music industry, and fans. In 1991, the band helped break down race and genre barriers when they collaborated with Public Enemy on the track “Bring The Noise,” and was the first metal band to have its music heard on Mars when NASA played “Got The Time” to wake up the Mars Rover in 2012. Along with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth, Anthrax is a card-carrying member of The Big Four, the four bands that defined the speed/thrash/metal genre. Anthrax has also introduced a series of now sold-out signature whiskeys and bourbons and partnered with the Stockholm-based NEZUMI Studios for a high-end, limited-edition Baleine dive watch. Twenty-twenty-one also has seen the release of Z2 Comics’ “Among the Living” graphic novel with a track-by-track storyline inspired by Anthrax’s iconic 1987 album, Among The Living . The book pulls together a “who’s who” of names from the worlds of comics and music who created “bubble dialogue” and original artwork to express what the songs meant to them. Taking advantage of COVID-19’s prohibition of concert touring, the band has been hard at work writing the next Anthrax album.

ALBUM REVIEW: XL – Anthrax

July 18th 2021 marked the 40th anniversary of thrash metal heavyweights ANTRHAX . During this time the band have released 11 studio albums, have been awarded multiple Gold and Platinum certifications, received six Grammy nominations, and have a number of other awards and accolades from fans, the media and music industry. For ANTHRAX , their 40th anniversary is not exactly in the rear-view mirror. With the anniversary itself spent in prime lockdown, ANTHRAX have produced new album XL – a live performance of their greatest hits that comes in at a pretty remarkable two hours.

For those who are unfamiliar with ANTHRAX , the opening track itself showcases everything that is great about them. After all members have graced the stage, we are treated to a rendition of Fight Em ‘Til You Can’t , a classic thrash track that does absolutely nothing to ease the audience into an ANTHRAX live show. It allows the band to explode onto the scene, taking absolutely no prisoners as they segue perfectly into arguably their most famous track, Madhouse . It seems a bit of an odd choice to choose this track as just the second on the track list, yet this is being treated as any other ANTHRAX live show, so it aids in rousing the audience and getting them moving properly.

But the band are far from peaking too early. With another 20+ tracks to go, there is still plenty of music left for even the most casual of ANTHRAX fans to recognise. The next track itself is a prime example – Caught In A Mosh does exactly the same thing and feeds off the energy created in the last five minutes. The band seem to be oblivious to the fact that there is no audience watching them and instead give their all regardless of the fact they are performing to a group of cameras.

ANTHRAX have definitely taken advantage of the COVID-19 prohibition of concert touring with this album, adapting to the times and performing regardless. The lack of audience doesn’t deter them in the slightest and they are still as solid as ever, with Scott Ian ’s aggressive, head pounding guitar and Joey Belladonna ’s soaring vocals throughout. Though these may be the most notable members for most, there is no denying the fact that the rest of the band are a well-oiled machine. It’s a well-settled line-up with Charlie Benante thundering away at the back of the stage on drums, Jon Donais complimenting Ian ’s riffs on guitar, and Frank Bello pounding away at the bass.

As one of the bands responsible for the emergence of thrash and speed metal and as one of the card-carrying members of The Big Four, ANTHRAX constantly have to worry about living up to audience and critic’s expectations. But time and again they consistently manage to exceed these expectations and do the unexpected. The fact that they could not embark on an anniversary tour does not slow them down or discourage them; it only motivates them further to be the best band that they can truly be. The passion that ANTHRAX have is so clear in this performance, and even if their music may not be to your tastes, you can’t disagree with the fact that they know how to put on a good show.

Rating: 8/10

anthrax tour review 2022

Still celebrating their 40-year tenure as one of music’s premier thrash metal bands, Anthrax announces their first European/UK tour since the summer of 2019. Kicking off on September 27th 2022 in Birmingham, UK, the band will play 28 dates in 16 countries, wrapping up in Zurich, Switzerland on November 5th.

Crossover thrash band Municipal Waste will support on all dates.

It sure has been a long time since we rock’n’rolled in the UK and Europe,” said Anthrax’s Charlie Benante, “but we’re coming back soon to bring the noise to all of you guys. Being that we can’t get over there until 2022, we’re going to make sure that every show will be an eventful one.

We won’t just be playing four decades of songs to celebrate our ongoing 40th anniversary – hey, we’ll be giving YOU some history! – but we just might have some brand new ones for you as well. Can’t wait to see all your happy, smiling faces!!!”

On this tour, fans can expect Anthrax – Joey Belladonna/vocals, Scott Ian/rhythm guitar, Frank Bello/bass, Charlie Benante/drums, and Jon Donais/guitar – to draw from all four decades – fan favourites and deep cuts –  for their nightly setlist.

“There’s just something special about Europe,” said Belladonna. “Our fans there have always had a full-fledged excitement about our shows, and I enjoy performing more than anyone can imagine, so we’re really looking forward to this tour.”

Tickets will go on sale this Friday 20th August at 10am BST here:  https://myticket.co.uk/artists/anthrax

Starting May 3rd 2021, Anthrax counted down the days to their official July 18th anniversary, first with a three-times-a-week, 40-episode, guest-filled web series that included testimonials from friends such as Chuck D, Kerry King, John Carpenter, Slash, Tom Morello, Rob Zombie, Robert Trujillo, Dave Grohl, Keanu Reeves, and many more. 

The celebration culminated on July 16th with a global livestream event that offered a set list that spanned the band’s entire career.
