Guitar Meets Science has shared a new mini-documentary. Check it out below:
“Anthrax + Eddie Kramer. Sounds like a dream team, right? The guy who worked with Zeppelin, Hendrix, and KISS producing one of the most legendary thrash albums of all time? Well… not exactly.
Kramer came in thinking he was making the next Pyromania. Anthrax wanted something that felt like getting hit by a speeding truck. What followed was a battle of wills—Scott Ian and the band pushing for raw, in-your-face power, while Kramer piled on the reverb like it was an ‘80s hair metal record. Things got so heated that Ian literally had to tell a rock legend to turn everything off.
This is the wild story of how Among The Living almost became a polished misfire—and how Anthrax dragged it back from the edge to make one of thrash metal’s most iconic albums.”
The 2025 NAMM Show took place from January 21–25 at the Anaheim Convention Center in Anaheim, California. Anthrax bassist Frank Bello was in attendance, and during a chat with American Musical Supply about his new signature Spector bass, he revealed the band’s long-awaited new album will surface this year.
Bello: “We have a new Anthrax record, and it’s been about eight years (since the release of For All Kings). The record’s supposed to come out September / October, so big touring plans. If you know Anthrax, you know what we do; we stay on the road for quite a while. There’s some very big shows being planned right now, which I can’t talk about, but I’m very psyched. So 2025 is the year.”
Stay tuned for further reports from the band.
