ANTHRAX have launched a six-episode video series ahead of the coming 30th anniversary deluxe edition of their gold-certified 1990 album, “Persistence Of Time“. The band’s drummer Charlie Benante hosts the series, having also overseen the upcoming deluxe edition. The first episode, titled ‘Dali‘, can be viewed above. Details for the deluxe edition of the album can be found here with an August 21st release date planned.
“Nearly as much as Metallica or Megadeth, Anthrax were responsible for the emergence of speed and thrash metal. Combining the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the prominent guitars and vocals of heavy metal, they helped create a new subgenre of heavy metal on their early albums. Original guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz were a formidable pair, spitting out lightning-fast riffs and solos that never seemed masturbatory. Unlike Metallica or Megadeth, they had the good sense to temper their often serious music with a healthy dose of humor and realism. After their first album, Fistful of Metal, singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello joined the lineup.” – All Music
