ANTHRAX: New Song Sample Available

May 8, 2009

ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante is offering an exclusive listen to the band's new album, "Worship Music", via TheLiveLine. The song "Earth On Hell" can be heard on Benante's "audio blog" by calling (888) 775-4786.

About TheLiveLine: In the spring of 2008, MEGADETH mainman Dave Mustaine and friend Scott Holmen approached the founders and president of SmartReply, Inc. with Dave's concept of using their technology to engage fans and artists. This innovative platform would serve as a way for fans to let the artists know what they are up to and for artists to keep fans informed of what is going on in their world.

In the summer of 2008 a Beta version of TheLiveLine.com was released and it was a smashing success. Fans and artists engaged in communication via mobile phone (voice and text messaging) and the TheLiveLine web site, which gave them exactly what they were looking for — up-to-the-minute information from each other.

ANTHRAX's first new studio album in six years, "Worship Music", is currently being mixed for a tentative October release.

The band will bring its brand of New York metal to Oklahoma when it kicks off the third annual, four-day Rocklahoma festival set for July 9-12 in Pryor, Oklahoma. ANTHRAX will headline the festival's July 9 opening night.

ANTHRAX's Rocklahoma festival appearance will be in support of "Worship Music" and the May 12 release of the limited edition, three-record vinyl reissue of the band's first album, "Fistful of Metal", which originally came out twenty-five years ago.

"Worship Music" will mark the studio debut of singer Dan Nelson who joins long-time members Benante and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar),Frank Bello (bass) and Rob Caggiano (lead guitar).

The Rocklahoma festival will be ANTHRAX's only North American concert appearance until they launch their own major trek here later this year.
