ANTHRAX Drummer Ready To Unveil New Coffee

February 20, 2008

ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante has issued the following update:

"You all know me, you know how I earn a living. When I'm not bashing on my drums to the sounds of ANTHRAX, I like to enjoy a good cup of coffee. I will drink it hot, iced, frapped and intravenously. I've been all around the world, tried many different blends and I have come up with some combinations that kick ass. If you are a coffee drinker, I think you're going to love it. My coffee is a blend of Central American, African and Asian coffees roasted to a dark color. The aroma is very rich and the cup bold and complex. This is the start of something really delicious. Get your taste buds ready — MUGS UP!"

New ANTHRAX singer Dan Nelson (Photo#1, Photo#2, Photo#3) recently spoke to Sirius Satellite Radio's Hard Attack about a number of topics, including how he got the ANTHRAX vocalist job and the group's upcoming album. Nelson also took the ANTHRAX trivia quiz.

Check it out at this location.

In a recent interview with Banned Promotions, Nelson stated about how he landed the ANTHRAX singer gig, "I contacted Rob Caggiano [ANTHRAX guitarist] about jamming through MySpace. I originally laid down tracks for a side project Rob is doing. He told me after I was done recording he thought I would be a good fit for ANTHRAX. I was contacted by Charlie [Benante, drums] shortly after and auditioned. The rest, as they say, is history!"

Regarding the direction of the band's upcoming CD, Nelson said, "Things are going great. Fans are going to be real pleased with the new album. It's heavy as hell, and definitely has those thrash elements that ANTHRAX is best known for!"

A song from Nelson's previous band DEVILSIZE, titled "Taken", can be heard at this location.
