Just when you thought it was safe, Anthrax (the band) is back. Refusing to change their name in a post-9/11 climate, the thrash legends from New York City storm back to the mainstream after a five-year release gap. Anthrax helped to create not one, but three metal sub-genres--thrash-, rap- and nu-metal, and WE'VE COME FOR YOU ALL serves to remind the current generation who was there first.
The album pulses to life with the tribal beat and crackling guitar of a metallic giant waking from a deep slumber. Following the briefest of pauses, the album explodes to life with "What Doesn't Die." It comes at you fast and hard, as one of the best rhythm sections in metal lays down its famous chug. The addition of guitarist/producer Rob Caggiano gives new blood to an already well-oiled machine. A power ballad ("Safe Home") and a Southern rock stomp ("Cadillac Rock Box") provide contrast to the thrash attack of "Nobody Knows Anything" and the title track. Anthrax can even make an acoustic guitar sound crunchy ("Refuse To Be Denied"). Headbangers, put away your gas mask, but keep your neck brace handy.
