New ANTHRAX Singer: 'Fans Are Going To Be Real Pleased With The New Album'

January 15, 2008

Banned Promotions has posted a short interview with new ANTHRAX singer Dan Nelson (Photo#1, Photo#2, Photo#3, Photo#4). An excerpt from the chat follows:

Q: Things have changed a lot since I met you and you fronted the bands DEVILSIZE and ME, MY ENEMY. For those who haven't read or heard the story, how did you become the vocalist for ANTHRAX?

Nelson: "I contacted Rob Caggiano [ANTHRAX guitarist] about jamming through MySpace. I originally laid down tracks for a side project Rob is doing. He told me after I was done recording he thought I would be a good fit for ANTHRAX. I was contacted by Charlie [Benante, drums] shortly after and auditioned. The rest, as they say, is history!"

Q: I know you have met up with the guys a few times and been prepping for the new record. How have things been going?

Nelson: "Things are going great. Fans are going to be real pleased with the new album. It's heavy as hell, and definitely has those thrash elements that ANTHRAX is best known for!"
