Anthrax - Cursum Perficio (2026)

I’m not an Anthrax fan, but I was surprised to find that the opening track lacks any thrash sound; instead, it leans more towards European heavy/power metal. Belladonna’s vocals also echo the Scandinavian school. It's an enjoyable and energetic. I’d describe the current Anthrax style as heavy metal with elements of thrash and groove. Overall, the musicians deserve praise—both collectively and individually. Every section—vocals, guitars, and rhythm—performs brilliantly and with great inspiration. It's refreshing to find melody amidst the controlling chaos. The album has an old-school vibe, but just the right amount. It is a high-quality record that strikes a perfect balance between melody and raw power.
