Anthrax's Charlie Benante Discusses New DVD

Grammy-nominated thrash act Anthrax is releasing "Chile On Hell," a live-in-concert DVD, this month via Nuclear Blast.

Filmed at the Teatro Caupolican in Santiago, Chile in 2013, the DVD features Anthrax performing an extended set that featured songs from the band's entire catalog. A short video clip of drummer Charlie Benante talking about the release can be seen below.

"Santiago was the perfect place to film the show for this," said Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. “When we'd played there in the past, we'd finish our set, play our encore and go back to the dressing room. But every time, the fans would continue to scream and cheer and clap. I mean, they went on and on, they wouldn't stop. One time Scott [Ian, guitar] and I walked out to the side of the stage just to watch what was going on in the audience, it was intense. Why wouldn't we want to film a DVD in front of an audience like that?”

"Plus," Benante continued, "the time was right to do this DVD… We wanted to finish on a high note. We didn't want to look back and regret that we didn't record the live show."
