Anthrax's Journey Ends With Fire | Rock Music News

Anthrax is back with their first full-length album in ten years, “Cursum Perficio,” dropping September 18 — and it’s packed with raw energy, deep meaning, and cinematic flair. The title, Latin for “My journey is over,” hints at closure and reinvention. Their new single, “The Edge Of Perfection,” starts serene before exploding into blistering blastbeats, backed by a visually stunning video directed by Oscar-winning filmmaker Joel Harlow and featuring martial artists, actors, and makeup legend Rick Baker. Scott Ian calls it the band’s greatest song ever — a bold claim for a group with a legendary catalog. Drummer Charlie Benante reveals the track was born before COVID, and the album’s delay stemmed from creative drought and pandemic setbacks — but he also admits some songs date back to 2015, too good to ignore. Recorded in LA and produced by Jay Ruston and the band, “Cursum Perficio” promises the same aggressive, vital sound that defined Anthrax’s classic era — and proves they’re not slowing down.
