Anthrax have released a third track from their upcoming album, their first in a decade.
Fusing fast, aggressive shredding with powerful vocals, Everybody's Got A Plan arrives with a video filmed last month while the New York thrash legends were in Lisbon, Portugal, touring with Iron Maiden.
It follows The Edge Of Perfection and It's For The Kids in previewing the long-awaited 'Cursum Perficio', due out on September 18 via Nuclear Blast Records and Megaforce Records (North America). Drummer Charli Benante said:
"Everybody's Got a Plan has always been one of my favorite songs on 'Cursum Perficio'. The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song. Everybody's got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face’ is such a great line, and so true!"
Guitarist Scott Ian added: "Most of this video was shot opening for [Iron] Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026. We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn’t end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!"
After dates in Europe and the UK this summer, the Grammy-nominated metallers will continue supporting Iron Maiden on their Run For Your Lives Tour across the US and Mexico in September and October, alongside Megadeth.
