ANTHRA Xguitarist Scott Ian has opened up about the band's upcoming album, 'Cursum Perficio', in a new interview with Allison Hagendorf.

The record will be released on September 18 via Megaforce in the U.S.

and Nuclear Blast in Europe, marking the band's first full-length studio album in ten years since their 2016 release, "For All Kings".

Ian discussed the album title, saying: "Sometimes I'm reticent to define things, how I feel about it, because I want the people who listen to the record, the people who come to the shows, I always want them to take ownership in everything we do and make it their own." The band's first single and video, "It's For The Kids", has been described as a classic ANTHRAX ripper locked and loaded with buzzsaw-sharp riffs, explosive drumming, and a howling and head-banging hook.

Ian talked about the lyrical inspiration for the song, saying: "I was definitely...

That's how I deal with anger." The album will be available in various formats, including standard CD, Target-exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover, standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold, and more.

The track listing includes songs such as "Persistence Of Memory", "Everybody's Got A Plan", and "My Victory".
