Thrash metal fans pay close attention to what we are about to say. Anthrax and Testament, who haven’t toured together in more than a decade, are set to co-headline a U.S. tour beginning Friday, October 14th in Grand Rapids, MI. Anthrax will close all shows and Death Angel will be the main support for the entire tour. The coast-to-coast trek will travel through two dozen cities over a five-week period, with both Anthrax and Death Angel debuting brand new material for their albums, which are both set for a summer/fall release. Testament’s upcoming album is set to release in 2012.

Alright, time to draw your eyes away from the this post and head on over to this site for Anthrax fan club presale ticketing. Public on-sale kicks off Friday, September 9th at 10 AM local time. For more information or to purchase tickets, log onto Anthrax’s official site or Testament’s official site or Death Angel’s official site.

If you don’t have the chance to check out Anthrax’s Big Four “hometown” appearance at Yankee Stadium September 14th with Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth then it is time for you to see Anthrax in the “Big Three” with Testament and Death Angel. We forgive you for missing out on Anthrax once, but twice is just unacceptable.
