Anthrax Demoing New Songs

ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante spoke with the Twin Peaks Archive about a number of topics recently. When asked about the future, Benante responded: "Well, we’re demo-ing songs for a new record. We have a new singer in place, we’re really excited about this third stage of our career. I could’ve just packed it in and said ‘I’m done with this’, but we still have this drive, I still have this hunger. And I still have this catalogue of music that needs to be heard. We’re gonna hopefully put it out this year. We just wanna make it right, because with a new singer it’s gonna be under the microscope. I would say it’s gonna be a little more in the older direction that we were going into, and I would say it’s going to be more into a new direction. I hear elements of the old and I hear elements of new. We’re thinking of working with this guy Joe Barresi, who worked on the last TOOL record. I’m doing a lot of stuff in my place in Chicago, which is kinda like Anthrax central."
