NEW ALBUM ‘CURSUM PERFICIO’ OUT 18TH SEPTEMBER 2026.

Multi-GRAMMY® award-nominated New York heavy metal titans – Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar) – will unleash their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album on September 18th via Nuclear Blast Records and Megaforce Records (North America). It marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s ‘For All Kings’, and it will be available in various physical configurations. The phrase title is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work. First single and video, ‘It’s For The Kids’, the quintet bulldoze the way for the album’s impact. It’s a classic Anthrax ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook. It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple. They have now released a high-octane video harking back to the infamous video for their 1985 smash hit ‘Madhouse’.

Their journey has brought them to ‘Cursum Perficio‘ – a powerful, pummeling, and poetic milestone in Anthrax’s 45-year career. The band dove into recording new record in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and Anthrax, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.
