ANTHRAX With SHADOWS FALL Drummer: Buenos Aires Footage Available

February 16, 2012

SHADOWS FALL drummer Jason Bittner filled in for Charlie Benante at two ANTHRAX shows in Argentina this past weekend.

Fan-filmed video footage of ANTHRAX's February 13 concert at Cosquin Rock in Buenos Aires, Argentina can be seen below.

Benante and ANTHRAX bassist Frank Bello (who is Charlie's nephew) missed several shows on ANTHRAX's recent North American tour in order to spend time with Charlie's mother, who was terminally ill. On February 4, Benante informed fans via his official web site that his mother passed away.

Bittner previously joined ANTHRAX on stage on November 8, 2011 at Northern Lights in Clifton Park, New York to perform the ANTHRAX classic "Madhouse". He also filled in on drums for Benante for two ANTHRAX shows in January 2006 after Charlie was forced to leave the tour early to attend to his wife Sandra, who gave birth to the couple's first child, Mia Charley Benante.
