As Anthrax prepares to hit the road yet again, their longtime four-stringer is as grateful as ever.

Dude knows a thing or two about the guys in Pantera.

One of metal’s good guys put out a passion project worth checking out.

This sort of thing’s only going to be more common.

Also includes Mötley Crüe, Megadeth, Babymetal, and more.

Also: Michael Poulsen ribs Rob Caggiano about quitting ‘Thrax for Volbeat.

The band will release a new EP, Rat Child, in June.

If it were. Y’know. The Big Five.

WARNING: Drinking from the Frank Bello coffee mug does not guarantee that you will become as excited about life as the actual Frank Bello.

And it’s not even really metal!

How can you not love this dude? We have no […]

Fun fact: Frank Bello can’t hold his liquor.

The 1985 release was Anthrax’s first full-length after cementing their line-up with singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello.

One of the turntables will include a Willy Wonka-style Golden Ticket, entitling the winner to a Zoom call with Joey Belladonna and Frank Bello.

Metal Masters 5 will feature Philip Anselmo (Pantera/Down), Kerry King (Slayer), Gary Holt (Slayer/Exodus), Charlie Benante (Anthrax), Frank Bello (Anthrax), David Ellefson (Megadeth), Chris Broderick (Megadeth), Billy Sheehan (Winery Dogs), Mike Portnoy (Winery Dogs) and Rex Brown (Pantera/Kill Devil Hill).

This year’s guests will be Monster Magnet guitarist/vocalist Dave Wyndorf on Friday, October 11 from 12-2 pm, and Anthrax bassist Frank Bello on Saturday, October 12 from 12-2 pm.

Also coming with us: Anthrax bassist Frank Bello and Monster Magnet’s Dave Wyndorf!

It may be a while before they put out some new material, but the guys are at least hard at work on it.

Who’s stoked to catch this live?
