ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante will make a special guest appearance at Illinois-based modern rock/alternative band HEAVY THE FALL's August 8, 2008 concert at Chicago City Limits in Shaumburg, Illinois.

Commented Benante: "I need a warm-up show before I go to Japan and Korea [with ANTHRAX] and the guys were nice enough to let me sit in."

Several songs from HEAVY THE FALL's debut EP, featuring Charlie Benante, have been posted on the band's MySpace page. Charlie also produced the CD, which was engineered and mixed by Asim Ali (MUDVAYNE, LEFTSETTER).

HEAVY THE FALL features in its ranks former AVERNUS guitarist Erik Kikke. The group's current linup is rounded out by vocalist Daniel Graunke and bassist Michael V.

Acording to HEAVY THE FALL's official bio, the group's sound is characterized by "unique note-driven guitar riffs and melodies, tight rhythmic bass lines, strong vocals and passionate lyrics."
