Disc One also features a special &#8220;bonus B-side&#8221; version of <strong>&#8220;I&#8217;m The Man&#8221;<\/strong> from 1990 that leans more hip-hop than rock, and a live version of <strong>&#8220;Time&#8221;<\/strong> that was recorded at Michigan&#8217;s Palace of Auburn Hills in 1991. The final two songs on Disc One, as well as all nine tracks on Disc Two, are special recordings from &#8220;Charlie&#8217;s Stash,&#8221; an incomparable wealth of <strong>ANTHRAX<\/strong> music from the band&#8217;s rehearsals, writing sessions, preproduction, and live performances that <strong>Benante<\/strong> has recorded over the past 40 years and has been kept safely filed away. These recordings will put listeners &#8220;in the room&#8221; with the band, privy to the evolution of the songs on <strong>&#8220;Persistence Of Time&#8221;<\/strong>, starting with <strong>Benante<\/strong>&#8216;s original riffs and demos for the songs, moving on to <strong>Frank Bello<\/strong>, <strong>Scott Ian<\/strong>, <strong>Joey Belladonna<\/strong>, <strong>Dan Spitz<\/strong> and <strong>Benante<\/strong> shaping the songs in rehearsal, then into preproduction, and finally into the recording studio.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Said <strong>Benante<\/strong>: &#8220;You&#8217;ll hear parts of songs that never made it to the final recording or songs with an arrangement different from the finished song.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">The 40-minute &#8220;guerilla-style&#8221; DVD was shot when <strong>ANTHRA<\/strong>X was on tour with <strong>IRON MAIDEN<\/strong> in 1991 and features live footage of <strong>Benante<\/strong> taking over the drums for <strong>IRON MAIDEN<\/strong>&#8216;s <strong>Nicko McBrain<\/strong>, as well as backstage and dressing room footage with members of both bands. The piece wraps with <strong>Benante<\/strong>, <strong>Bello<\/strong>, and <strong>Ian<\/strong> joining <strong>IRON MAIDEN<\/strong> on stage for the final song of the night, <strong>&#8220;Sanctuary&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\">Source: Blabbermouth.net<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On August 21, 2020, &#8220;30 years to the day after its initial launch,&#8221; legendary thrash&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_coblocks_attr":"","_coblocks_dimensions":"","_coblocks_responsive_height":"","_coblocks_accordion_ie_support":"","_mo_disable_npp":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-81235","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81235","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=81235"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81235\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":81238,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/81235\/revisions\/81238"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=81235"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=81235"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/themetalden.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=81235"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
