Anthrax Guitarist Scott Ian Posts New Album Update

Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian has checked in with the following update on the new Anthrax album and a variety of other subjects including his favourite albums of 2008. You can read it below:

"It's that time of year again can you believe it? How the hell is it Christmas already?? I know I say that every year but damn, time really flies when you're having fun.

"I've been in the studio working on the new Anthrax album since November 4. The drums, bass and rhythm guitars are done (I just finished up 19 tracks of blistering rhythms a few nights ago) and the vocals started in NYC today. So far we are right on schedule and it's sounding REALLY FUCKING GREAT. We should be mixing at the end of January and soon after that giving birth to a really pissed off, loud, fast and heavy child.

"Being that it is the end of the year it's time for my year end favorites in music, movies, TV, and of course food. 2008 was a strange year for me music-wise because I have spent all year writing and then going into the studio so I wasn't as involved in "the scene" or staying up to date with the ever growing world of metal as I usually would be. I really have been living in a cave as they say.

"I based my favorite album choices on what I listened to the most on my iPod and iTunes when driving or flying or working out or sitting around the house. It makes it really easy because it gives you the play counts so you know how many times you listened and when. I love technology.

"OK, here are my lists:

Favorite Albums (in no specific order):

MUSE - HAARP
TOXIC HOLOCAUST - An Overdose Of Death
METALLICA - Death Magnetic
AC/DC - Black Ice
DEATH ANGEL - Killing Season
TESTAMENT - The Formation Of Damnation
BLOC PARTY - Intimacy
SLIPKNOT - All Hope Is Gone

I thought that as well. Had to google them to figure out what/who they were.
Still doesn't explain why they are on the list.

I only like a few of the albums he has listed.. oh well.

I'm pretty excited about the new Anthrax album and hearing what Dan's vocals sound like. It's been a long time coming.

I will check out the new album. Anthrax is good.
I agree with most of Ian's choices, but Metallica, no way..
AC/DC is miles ahead of the new Tallica album. They school Metallica in every way imaginable.
My opinion, of course.
