Anthrax has announced that they will be touring North American to celebrate their 40th anniversary. They will be joined by Black Label Society and Hatebreed, who will be celebrating the 20th anniversary of their 2002 sophomore album Perserverance. Tour dates can be found below.
Scott Ian, guitarist of Anthrax offered:
“Zakk has been a friend and an inspiration to me as a guitar player, songwriter, and beard grower since we met in 1988. We’ve had the privilege to share festival stages with Zakk and BLS around the world, and it’s always been a head-banging mutual admiration society between the two bands.
Now we get to share the stage every night on what is easily going to be the heaviest tour of 2022 — the ultimate pounding one-two combination of bands. Oh, and did I mention we’ve got fucking Hatebreed with us as our special guests? Holy crap, it’s going to be the night of 1000 crushing riffs. I can’t wait to see you all on the road.”
Black Label Society vocalist/guitarist Zakk Wylde commented:
“Anthrax is one of The BESTEST LEGENDARY METAL/THRASH BANDS of ALL TIME — I have been buds with Scotty, Charlie, Frankie & Joey for over 30 years and they are some of the BESTEST people you will meet. Jon is The BESTEST new addition Anthrax could ask for — Hatebreed are The BESTEST HARDCORE/EXTREME METAL band & BESTEST friends w/Anthrax & Black Label Society. The Anthrax + Black Label Society & Hatebreed tour is going to be one of the BESTEST TOURS EVER!!”
Hatebreed vocalist Jamey Jasta added:
“Listen up! It’s gonna be a hot summer! Anthrax, BLS, and Hatebreed will be on your case, in your face, and ready to kick you and your father back in place! See you in the pit.”
