Anthrax producer Jay Ruston has revealed the band’s frontman Joey Belladonna is in the studio working on an unnamed project.
Ruston has posted a picture of himself and the singer on social media, alongside the captions “Vocal time @Anthrax” and “Hmmmm, what could they be recording?”
It is not clear whether Anthrax are working on new music so soon after the release of their latest album.
Anthrax released their 11th album For All Kings in February of this year. And in a recent interview with The National Student at this month’s Bloodstock festival, Belladonna revealed he was recording “a couple of songs” once he got back to the US.
He said: “I’m going to record something when I get back – a couple of songs – but that’s right in the middle of it.
“If something needs to be done, I’ve got to get in to do it. I hate to be rushed. I wish I could have done it two months ago but now there’s a window.”
Drummer Charlie Benante caused a stir recently when he said For All Kings could be the band’s last ever album. And this week he insisted those comments had been misconstrued.
Benante said: “That was taken completely out of context. He asked me – this record, he felt, was probably the greatest record we’ve ever done. Where do you go from here?
“That led into the conversation, ‘I don’t know. Maybe this could be the last one, and I would be happy with that.’ That’s what I said.
“I think we have a lot more music in us.”
The thrash icons tour North America with Slayer and Death Angel starting on September 9.
