Anthrax's Frank Bello Excited About Their New Songs

. (Classic Rock) Anthrax bassist Frank Bello doesn't want to "overhype" the band's upcoming new album - but he admits he's "psyched" about playing the songs live. As they release a second video showing drummer Charlie Benante recording in the studio for the follow-up to 2011's Worship Music, the bass player says the one word he'd use to describe the material is "energy." An earlier video also showed Benante at the kit.

Bello tells Jam Magazine: "The word is energy. The best thing I can do with this thing is not overhype it, and just have that quiet confidence, but I'm so stoked. The three of us got in the studio last week, and it was, like, old-time jamming. It just built this momentum. It's gonna be fun to play these songs.

"Worship Music, it was taken well, it sold well and we're thankful. We made a lot of new fans with that, along with our fan base, and we're really looking forward to the next page. We really are.

"Thirty-one years in, you'd think we'd be winding down, but I can tell, in reality, there's a fire in the belly. It's something we have to do, and there's no reason to stop. We're just having fun doing it." Read more here.
