ANTHRAX are streaming their cover version of RUSH‘s “Anthem”, taken from their upcoming covers EP “Anthems”, which arrives in March. Go here to check it out.
The band’s drummerย Charlie Benanteย had the following to say about ANTHRAX covering RUSH:
When I was first learning to play drums, I would strap on my headphones, play along with [Rush’s live albumย All the World’s a Stage] and be transformed. I remember talking withย Cliffย [Burton] andย Kirkย [Hammettย ofย Metallica] back when we first met, and we all agreed how much of an influenceย Rushย was on all of us. I don’t [know] if you would hear anything that sounds likeย Rushย inย Anthrax’s music, but the passion, the drive, the musicianship and the appreciation is all there.
