As Anthrax continues to celebrate their 40th anniversary with their docuseries and recent livestream, they're also looking toward the future. According to bassist Frank Bello in an interview with Metal Pilgrim, the band has a "six-, seven-song thing right now" they're working on. Bello said the record should be out in 2022, and of course was delayed due to the difficulties of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic.

"COVID hit and stopped everything. You've gotta realize, we can't get on a plane — during COVID, during the whole thing, we couldn't get on a plane and just travel to go jam. Usually what happens with an Anthrax record, Charlie, Scott and myself would all congregate in one spot. Either I would fly out to L.A. or Chicago or they would fly to New York or we go to L.A., Scott's house, we would all get together and jam and create. That wasn't happening.

"I don't know if you've done Zoom, but jamming on Zoom doesn't really work. It doesn't work — there's always a latency there; there's always a timing thing. It doesn't work the way we want it to work. So now that we're moving on, I know next month we have a writing session, which is great. We're all gonna get together in New York and we're gonna get together and jam.

"I think we have a six-, seven-song thing right now that we're working and finagling around. So we're on a good path. There will be another record in '22. Hopefully everything works — everybody stays healthy and things are open. We'll see what happens."
