ANTHRAX Confirmed For Germany's SONISPHERE

April 18, 2009

ANTHRAX has been confirmed for the German edition of the METALLICA-headlined Sonisphere festival, set to take place July 4 at Hockenheimring.

The festival billing is shaping up as follows (in alphabetical order):

IN EXTREMO
LAMB OF GOD
MASTODON
METALLICA

As previously reported, ANTHRAX frontman Dan Nelson will take part in a signing session at Looney Tunes in West Babylon, New York on "Record Store Day" (Saturday, April 18). The event will begin at 3:00 p.m.

The details are as follows:

Looney Tunes
31 Brookvale Ave.
West Babylon, NY 11704

"Record Store Day" celebrates the continued existence of independent record stores, mostly through live in-store appearances, performances and special limited-edition releases that will only be sold through participating stores on the day itself, which is April 18 this year.

ANTHRAX will bring its brand of New York metal to Oklahoma when it kicks off the third annual, four-day Rocklahoma festival set for July 9-12 in Pryor, Oklahoma. ANTHRAX will headline the festival's July 9 opening night.

ANTHRAX's Rocklahoma festival appearance will be in support of the band's first new studio album in six years, "Worship Music", scheduled for an October release, and the May 12 release of the limited edition, three-record vinyl reissue of the band's first album, "Fistful of Metal", which originally came out twenty-five years ago. "Worship Music" will mark the studio debut of Dan Nelson who joins long-time members Benante and Scott Ian (rhythm guitar),Frank Bello (bass) and Rob Caggiano (lead guitar).

The Rocklahoma festival will be ANTHRAX's only North American concert appearance until they launch their own major trek here later this year.
