Anthrax's "state of euphoria" 30th anniversary+ killthrax tour dates!

By Michael Connelly

In commemoration of Anthrax’s “State of Euphoria” 30th anniversary the heavy-hitting hard rockers will be releasing an expanded reissue of the LP in 2018. The LP will feature a bonus disc of demos from the band’s recording process. From this re-issue listeners will be able to hear the band’s process on how songs are created in the studio.
 
Anthrax Drummer Charlie Benante told blabbermouth “It’s just funny, because that's the record that we really don't like that much, but after revisiting it, I started to pick out songs, and I'm, like, 'Oh, yeah, this is a good song.' 'Out Of Sight, Out Of Mind', I like that one. 'Schism' was another one. I think my least favorite one was probably 'Make Me Laugh'. But 'Now It's Dark' is on there. It's good."
 
On March 29th Anthrax and Kill Switch Engage launched the Killthrax Tour in New Jersey. The two bands have been alternating the closing slot over the course of the tour. The tour will see it’s climax in Boston at the House Of Blues on May 7th.
