ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante recently spoke to Anthony Toto of Pop-Break.com about the band’s long-awaited follow-up to 2011’s “Worship Music” album, which is tentatively due in late 2015 or early 2016.

The CD, which is once again being produced by Jay Ruston (STONE SOUR, STEEL PANTHER), will include such songtitles as “The Battle Chose Us“, “You Gotta Believe” and “The Evil Twin“.

“We have a title in mind and we have a concept for it and everything,” he said. “One of the first songs that written for the record, the title became ‘You Gotta Believe‘. It had a part two to the song that I called ‘The Evil Twin‘, because it reminded me of the other song and they flow so well into each other. Those two songs, they’re both old-school thrash metal songs, but they’re done in a modern way. Those are two of my favorite songs on the record and they’re long and really ferocious. There’s another song that clocks in at seven minutes and it’s one of my favorite songs on the record, because it takes you on a musical journey. I’m really excited about some of these longer songs, and, of course, the songs that are fast are just extremely aggressive. I’m just happy about the way this is all coming out.”
