Worship Music

I, I love all three truly.

But the other day on the headline set, you actually didn't do anything from For All Kings or Worship Music.

Oh.

But that's just a time thing, I would think.

No.

But I think Worship Music and For All Kings, I thought those were really just-

Yeah, I thought those were great.

Mm-hmm

The way I describe this album is to me it sounds a lot like John Bush era Anthrax with Joey singing.

Um, which is funny because when they released Worship Music, the whole big deal was, "Oh my God, Anthrax is back.

They're doing thrash again." And then they kinda released For All Kings which was kinda, like, leaning more back towards the John Bush.

And then this, in my opinion, they've kinda gone right back with the John Bush era stuff.

Mm-hmm.

No, but I think Worship Music and For All Kings, I thought those were really-

Yeah, I know.

Those were great

In the end, what album is that on?

Worship Music.

It's like really their first real comeback album, I guess you could say.

I think I've only heard...

By 2010, Belladonna had returned again, this time permanently.

The delayed material became worship music in 2011, with Belladonna re-recording vocals for songs that had largely been developed before his return.

The result worked well enough to establish that Anthrax could again function as a contemporary band rather than a nostalgia act, earning another Grammy nomination and giving the group a stable direction after years of vocalist uncertainty.

Guitarist Jonathan Dinesh joined after Caggiano's departure, and that lineup made For All Kings in 2016.

This is where the reunion era finally felt less like a reunion.

unlike worship music anthrax knew belladonna was a singer while the new material was being written and frank bello described the band as having rediscovered a comfortable understanding of who they were as writers we liked for all kings by god it sounded recognizably like anthrax without pretending that the previous 20 years had never happened Belladonna's melodic voice over heavier modern production, plenty of thrash, but also broader, more deliberate songwriting, the band had developed over time.

We did not treat it as another among the living or sound of white noise.

It was simply a good, confident Anthrax record made by musicians who no longer seem particularly confused about what Anthrax was supposed to be.

Number three, I got Anthrax, Spreading the Disease

Which is, was my favorite Anthrax record besides Worship Music, but of the day, the heyday of Anthrax.

Oh, you take that one and Among the Living-

Mm-hmm

Uh, one of the three great albums by Annihilator, Never, Neverland, great album.

Uh, Anthrax, one of my personal favorites, the final album with Joey Belladonna, Persistence of Time, until 2011's Worship Music.

Bring the Noise, yeah?

That's my f- favorite.
