Metal, Hardcore, Indie, Rock
Anthrax has produced a music video for the lead single from their highly anticipated forthcoming studio album, which is tentatively scheduled for release in early 2026, as per blabbermouth.net. The album will be distributed in North America through Megaforce and in Europe via Nuclear Blast. The mixing and some recording sessions for the album were conducted at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 located in Northridge, California. Anthrax collaborated once again with producer Jay Ruston, who previously worked on the albums “For All Kings” (2016) and “Worship Music” (2011). On Saturday, December 20, guitarist Scott Ian shared a message on his social media platform.
Album is done. First video is shot. Thank you all for braving the cold with us to make something killer! A great day for all of us! So much more Anthrax coming in 2026! Until then have a great holiday!
Additionally, drummer Charlie Benante posted a separate update regarding the band’s activities.
We shot a video yesterday for a new song “ it’s *** *** ****” , it’s a bit of a throw back to another video. I couldn’t help but have a little fun with some friends who showed up. I want to thank them for being there and being a part of a very long and cold day. We had some fun with a sing along @kissonline @judaspriest #watchthebeat #charliebeatthebeatsthebeatsyoubeat @anthrax new album coming in 26 #happyholidays #doyouloveme #iloveitloud
