Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Charlie Benante Talk About Their Upcoming Tour With Testament and Death Angel

Thrash titans Anthrax and Testament, who haven't toured together in more than a decade, are set to co-headline a US tour beginning Friday, October 14 in Grand Rapids, MI (itinerary below). Anthrax will close all shows, and Death Angel will be main support for the entire tour. The coast-to-coast trek will figure to decimate more than two dozen cities over a five-week period, with both Anthrax and Death Angel debuting brand new material from their new albums, both set for summer/fall release; Testament's new album is set to be released in 2012.

The Anthrax fan club presale begins today at AnthraxArmy.com, and the public on-sale kicks off Friday, September 9 at 10AM local time. For more information or to purchase tickets, log onto Anthrax.com.
