Anthrax Posts "Suzerain" Lyric Video

"Suzerain," an intense and politically-charged track from Anthrax's "For All Kings" album, consists of lyricist Scott Ian's musings about a leader who would be so powerful that all nations, all people, would come under his benevolent authority, and in return, he would bring peace, happiness and prosperity to all of Earth.

"Mankind keep making the same mistakes over and over," said Ian. "You'd think that after thousands of years of religious, economic and ideologic wars, we'd have figured out how to live with each other, but we haven't. That's what drew me to the idea for 'Suzerain.'"

The "Suzerain" video incorporates the game of chess along with images of battles fought by ancient empires to illustrate imperial power. You can check out the new lyric clip below.

Anthrax will hit the road in 2017 first with an appearance at the 70,000 Tons of Metal cruise, and then will launch the "Among The Kings" tour, starting with a 26-date UK/European trek seguing into the band's North American co-headline tour with Killswitch Engage, dubbed "Killthrax."
