March 19, 2013 "Anthems" EP Release Date

Neon Knights is probably reserved for the Dio tribute album only.

I'm just happy its a stand-alone EP and not a re-package of Worship Music.

A Maiden cover would have been cool, I'd love to hear Joey sing Wasted Years...
 
That's interesting that Crawl is going to be on it... I wonder what the "special mix" will sound like.

Crawl's become one of my favorite songs on Worship Music, as a matter of fact I think its blown the theory (a theory that I myself used to spout) that Joey can't sing any of the Bush era stuff --- as Crawl sounds like it was written for John, yet Joey is GREAT on it.

It's orchestrated, as opposed to all guitars etc.


It's cool, but Crawl shouldnt be on the ep, let alone twice.
 
Can't wait to hear all the songs. These guys will do wonders!! But is that the EP cover?? How very lazy of them!! ANTHEM in ANTHRAX fond would have been better!! But then..it all goes down to how much cash would u like to pour down for it.

Yes. There's probably all sorts of bullshit exclusivity contracts with that so that they can't release it independently. I know Maiden were unable to release their cover of Space Truckin' off of the recent Deep Purple tribute, so I'd imagine something similar is going on here.

Seems like there's more to it.

From blabbermouth: The "Anthems" EP will be available on CD as well as digitally via iTunes and other online retailers. In addition to "Anthems"' cover art, Benante and artist Stephen Thompson have subtly redesigned each track's original album cover art to "Anthrax" it. The "Anthems" EP will first be housed in one of the "re-imagined" digipak covers, and then inserted inside the main CD cover sleeve. The main cover sleeve has been designed in such a way so fans will be able to see which one of the six "re-imagined" covers is inside.

A Maiden cover would've been cool but this EP was all about covering tunes from the 70's (I think).

Ok..thats alot of wonderful creative work need to be done!! That is a lot of money to be poured in the project.
 
From memory Anthrax have covered `Remember Tomorrow' but I am trying to think of any others?
 
not a massive fan of most of there covers,walk all over u is 1 of there better covers,twisted sister 1 was pretty good too,im hoping i enjoy the ep
 
Joey does TNT at most Chief Big Way gigs, so I've heard him do it before and I think he's got a great voice for AC/DC songs.
