The Anthrax guitarist recently shared high praise for 'The Edge of Perfection' and you can now watch the video.

East Coast thrash legends Anthrax have revealed the latest magic trick off their forthcoming Cursum Perficio, a blast-pounded epic called “The Edge of Perfection.” The new song is the second single behind Cursum Perficio, following this spring’s thrash-manic “It’s for the Kids.” “The Edge of Perfection” is a different kind of beast, a near-seven-minute rollercoaster that spirals through a shimmering guitar intro before ramping up into a blast-and-trilled section of blackened melancholy, then onto power-swung gravitas. Guitarist Scott Ian calls it “the apex predator of Anthrax songs,” and likewise “the best song we’ve ever written and the best thing I’ve ever been a part of creatively.” Drummer Charlie Benate feels it’s of the same tier as classic Anthrax tracks like “Only” and “Indians.” Lyrically, the song seems to concern feelings of love, regret, change, desperation and more, and having all of that swirl inside your head at the same time (“Self-aware to the point of obliteration”). “What’s the most powerful emotion that moves me more than anything? Of course, it’s love,” Ian says with respect to the theme. “Nothing moves me like the deep feeling that I get from my wife and son. I’m living on that edge for the rest of my life. This is mine, but there are a lot of ways to ruin it. I’ve ruined it in past iterations of my life, but it got me to where I am. Love is perfection, and I like being on the edge of it. I don’t want everything to be about all of the same shit. This record has a whole bunch of love, a whole bunch of fun, and a little hate.” The music video, conceived and directed by Joel Harlow (Star Trek, Alice in Wonderland) finds a man haunted by demons — a crew that look part Cenobite and part Babadook-esque paralysis specter. He takes a date to a magic show, this referencing the cover art to Cursum Perficio, and things take a turn for the weird. In addition to the performance footage of Anthrax, the video stars martial artist Wes Scarpias, Ashley Edner-Tancharoen, Troy James, Rod Maxwell, Fedor Steer and special effects legend Rick Baker as the magician. As previously reported, the 11-song Cursum Perficio appears in full September 26th via Megaforce. The album was produced by Anthrax and Jay Ruston, and was recorded at Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles, California. You can pre-order CD and vinyl copies in Revolver’s shop. Anthrax also have a North American summer tour on deck with Iron Maiden and Megadeth, which begins August 29th at Toronto, Ontario’s Rogers Centre.

Alkaline Trio cancel entire UK tour at last minute – including headlining slot at 2000Trees festival

(written by Islander) I have mixed feelings about the Fourth of July, probably a result of living through wars in Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan in which U.S. government officials wrapped themselves in the flag, exalted themselves with military fly-overs, and belched “patriotic” rhetoric while lying to citizens and sending their children overseas to be maimed [...]
