Reunited Anthrax Announce Special Release

"Live at the Sonisphere" will be released on "Black Friday," November 26, exclusively through Metal Club, the North American indie record store consortium that works to connect the metal community with their local "brick and mortar" record stores.

About the importance of independent record stores, Anthrax's Charlie Benante said, "Indie stores are our only hope! People should cherish these wonderful treasures. Go, get lost in an indie record store, you may discovery a band or record that could blow your mind."

"The Sonisphere concerts were some of the greatest shows for us," added Belladonna, "and to have shared it with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth was just the best. It's an experience none of us will ever forget, and we're happy that our fans can share a little of that, and that Anthrax can be part of the Metal Club with this single."

Anthrax just wrapped up the 20-date North American Jagermeister Fall Music Tour with Slayer and Megadeth, and will head to South America in November for a handful of dates. They will then return to the U.S. to finish recording a new album - their first with Belladonna on vocals since 1990's "Persistence of Time" - set for a 2011 release.
