New York heavy metal titans Anthrax will unleash their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album, Cursum Perficio, on September 18 via Megaforce Records.

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.

The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for "My journey has come to an end," or "My journey is over." This phrase proves apropos for such a complete body of work.,Anthax recently completed a cross Canada tour with Megadeth and Exodus, and are currently criss-crossing the globe until September when they hook up with Iron Maiden on their Run For Your Lives world tour.

Cursum Perficio will be available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop-up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive lilac vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold.

The album's first single and video, "It's For The Kids," is a classic Anthrax ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook.

It undoubtedly has all the makings of a future live staple.,The band dove into recording Cursum Perficio in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Los Angeles.

"We left it all on the table," agreed Bello.

"We really know who we are as Anthrax, what turns us on, and what we need to do.

I don't think anybody knows what's next, but we're hungrier than ever.

From here on out, we're going to go full throttle for every fucking minute.
