Anthrax "For All Kings" (2016) new album

I wanted to check it out on Spotify, but it doesn't seem to be in the new releases today.

 

Room For One More is my favorite. Basically, I pretty much agree with your Bush era selections.

 

I was two songs in and realized iTunes' cd info was incorrect.

I am re-ripping with corrected titles and joining the first 2 tracks.

 

Join tracks 1/2 and 5/6. If you're into that sort of thing.

 

I just put the correct titles to the tracks.

 

Yes, there were 50 or so metalheads freezing their butts off waiting outside to go in Architekt Studios around 5:30. They let us in around 6:45, started playing us the new album around 7:15. The band came out afterwards and played "Breathing Lightning" and "Evil Twin" live and were about to do A.I.R. at my request and Scott's amp crapped out. They did a Q&A for over an hour (apparently they don't know much about the loudness wars as Scott thought I was talking about the band Loudness) and then went in for a meet and greet. We got a signed copy of the new CD on the way in, got a picture with them and that was that.

 

Or maybe played dumb to avoid addressing it? Sounds like a cool night, though, getting to hear the full new album, see the band up close and talk to them. Thanks for the report.

 

I'm listening to it right now. As much I like Worship Music, I like this one even better. The one thing that sticks out right off the bat is that Donais is a great lead player.

 

Very cool!! I wish I'd known about it. I didn't even know there was a recording studio in Butler, haha.

...anywhoo I was able to pickup the new CD on my way home from work last night, haven't had time to give it a spin yet but will get to it sometime today!!

 

At the end of the whole Loudness band answer he also said that dynamics were more important to them.

 

I would have went to the Butler NJ listening party but I went to see Black Sabbath that same night. I need to pick up the cd though.

 

Absolutely love this album. I've paid no attention to this band for 25 years and now I'm suddenly obsessed and wanting to get the albums I missed in-between this and Persistence. I did find my old Moshers 1986-1991 best of cd this morning so will give that a spin later. I just hope For All Kings gets the wider attention it deserves.

Scott Ian is the guest on Marc Maron's WTF Podcast on Monday.

 

I saw on twitter mention that its not available in the US on Spotify at present, not sure when its available there. But id suggest its worth buying the physical of this album.

 

They just did a store signing here on Long Island just the other day and I completely forgot about it. Heard a few tracks from the album and it's really good.

 

I've had it on permanent rotation. Very, very good. It's been a very long time since i've enjoyed a brand new album so much.

 

Did anyone buy this at Best Buy on Friday? The current Best Buy ad has a release date of 3/4.

 

Yup, I got mine @ Best Buy on my way home from work on Friday.

 

Cool, just must be a misprint.

 

Saw the CD yeaterday at Target for $7.99.

 

for real?

 

Yep. Sale tag said it was on sale until 3/5.

 

oh wow. was it in this weeks add?

 

What a great, great album. It goes by so fast!

I haven't done any analysis on it, but the album sounds great. Good EQ and a nice bass drum sound with some depth. It isn't just the percussive sound of the mallet hitting the skin like you get from most metal albums.

Like the new Megadeth guy, this guitarist is freaking killer. Great tone too.

We are blessed to be getting killer new music from Megadeth and Anthrax in the span of about six weeks in the year 2016.
