Anthrax Unleashes the Fury with 'Cursum Perficio' and Frank Bello's Electrifying Performance

In a thunderous display of metal prowess, EMG TV has unveiled a blistering new video featuring none other than Frank Bello, the bass virtuoso of Anthrax. In this electrifying performance of the thrash classic 'Got The Time,' Bello wields his signature Spector Bass, equipped with the savage EMG Signature PJX set, creating a sound that’s as powerful as a freight train barreling down the tracks. This lethal combination of an LJAX and the punishing EMG PCSX is precisely the weaponry needed to deliver the raw energy that fans crave.

But that's not all; Anthrax is back in full force with their long-awaited album, 'Cursum Perficio,' marking their first studio endeavor in a decade since 2016’s 'For All Kings,' which stormed into the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The title, steeped in Latin meaning 'My journey has come to an end,' resonates with the band's seasoned history and the weight of expectations. This isn't just an album; it's a culmination of a decade's worth of artistry that delivers a fierceness that thrash metal fans live for.

'Cursum Perficio' comes in a plethora of formats, catering to collectors and die-hard fans alike. From a standard CD to an exclusive Target version featuring a fabric patch, and a range of vinyl options, including a striking purple zoetrope vinyl exclusive to Amazon, the band has crafted an array of choices that scream dedication. Each version is graced with a pop-up gatefold, making them as much a piece of art as the music within.

The band dove headfirst into the recording process in 2022, laying down tracks at the legendary Studio 606, home to Dave Grohl and a hallowed ground for rock royalty. Under the meticulous production of Jay Ruston and Anthrax, they have sculpted a magnum opus that resonates with the same aggression and urgency that marked their earlier works. Songs like 'Persistence Of Memory,' 'The Long Goodbye,' and 'The Edge Of Perfection' promise a journey through the chaos and intensity that define Anthrax's legacy.

As Charlie Benante shared in a recent interview, the concept behind the album title reflects the band's contemplation of their legacy. In a moment of introspection inspired by a Marilyn Monroe documentary, the phrase 'Cursum Perficio' emerged, encapsulating the essence of their journey. But fear not, metalheads—this isn’t a farewell; it’s a bold statement of where they've been and where they're going.
