AUDIO OF THE NEW ANTHRAX SINGER SURFACES!
… and we’ve got it for ya. Anthrax officially announced via an online chat with fan club members last night that Dan Nelson will handle vocals on Anthrax’s forthcoming album. Audio of Nelson with his old band Devilsize has surfaced, but we’re not sure when this is from. The audio quality isn’t great and the band is, uh, way less than great, but it at least gives us an idea of what the guy sounds like. While I’m not sure I’m sold yet on Scott Ian’s claim that his voice is “Like John Bush on steroids,” I’m at least happy they recognized that they needed someone that had balls, someone that could sing Bush-era material. Belladonna? Please. Dude could sing but he doesn’t fit modern Anthrax, at all. Just based on this shitty demo I’m willing to give Dan Nelson a shot to be awesome.
Also, how cool is it that the members of Anthrax got in a friggin’ online chat room with their fans to make the announcement, instead of a lame press release?
