In recent years, Anthrax has gotten more press for its unfortunately timely moniker than for its new releases. The erstwhile shredders now stomp at a slower speed, playing melodic, midpaced metal without compromising their intensity. This year's We Come for You All proves that the group's longtime lineup fixtures (guitarist Scott Ian, drummer Charlie Benante and bassist Frank Bello) can still craft colossal backdrops, and robust singer John Bush remains the perfect fit for songs that are as meaty and chunky as any "hearty" soup on the shelf. The enhanced version of the album comes with a medley of "Among The Living," "I'm The Man," and "Caught in a Mosh" that hints at the group's old-school-heavy set lists. On record, Anthrax embraces its maturation, but at live shows, it still goes metal-thrashing mad.
