ANTHRAX Fill-In Drummer DARBY TODD Shares 'Caught In A Mosh' Drum-Cam Video From 2026 ROCK IMPERIUM Festival

Acclaimed U.K.-based session drummer Darby Todd has shared drum-cam video of him performing "Caught In A Mosh" with ANTHRAX live at this year's Rock Imperium festival on July 4, 2026 in Cartagena, Spain. Todd was filling in for longtime ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante, who sat out nearly a dozen of the band's shows in Europe in late June and early July after injuring his right hand.

Todd previously sat behind the kit for ANTHRAX's May 23 concert at the Olympic Athletic Center of Athens (OAKA) in Athens, Greece as the support act for IRON MAIDEN. Charlie was unable to make the Athens gig due to his touring commitments with PANTERA, which played a show in Frankfurt, Germany on May 24 as the support act for METALLICA.

In a message accompanying his YouTube release of the "Caught In A Mosh" video, Darby wrote: "My final show filling in on drums for ANTHRAX while Charlie Benante took some needed rest for his hand injury, supporting IRON MAIDEN in Spain. Here's what 'Caught In A Mosh' looked like from behind the kit — one hell of a way to finish an incredible run with an incredible band. Thanks to ANTHRAX and their entire crew for having me."

Darby previously shared drum-cam video of him performing "Among The Living" with ANTHRAX live at this year's Hellfest on June 20, 2026 in Clisson, France. Check it out below.

In addition to touring the world with Devin Townsend, Darby has played with THE DARKNESS, Martin Barre, Alan Price, Gary Moore, Kee Marcello (EUROPE),Joe Lynn Turner (RAINBOW),Carl Verheyen, Robert Plant, Robben Ford, Paul Gilbert and many others. Darby is as comfortable playing jazz in a small jazz club as he is playing rock in an arena.

When not touring, Darby can found in his London-based studio remote recording for artists and bands around the world as well as doing a limited amount of teaching. He holds both U.K. and USA passports, which makes working in America simple.

ANTHRAX will release its long-awaited twelfth full-length studio album, "Cursum Perficio", on September 18 via Megaforce in the U.S. and Nuclear Blast in Europe. It marks the band's first record in ten years since 2016's "For All Kings", which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200.

Benante joined ANTHRAX in 1983, prior to the recording of the band's debut album, "Fistful Of Metal", and has been the band's drummer ever since. He is known for having a very fast double-kick technique and his work with the 1980s hardcore/metal project STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH (S.O.D.) is credited with having set the template for extreme metal and hardcore blast beats. He is also an accomplished guitarist, having written the majority of the music for ANTHRAX. Along with his musician duties, Benante is a graphic artist and has created many of ANTHRAX's album covers and T-shirt designs.
