Welcome to the new anthrax.com, where skin is in!!!

Greetings long suffering Anthrax.com loyalists. After 5 grueling years of the same shit that was bulldozed for something that was somehow worse... it is time my friends to finally unveil the new Anthrax.com!!!!!!!!! We've gone from 1998 tech to hopefully at least... 1999 tech. We may be Y2K compliant. In all seriousness (sort of) we're all ecstatic about the site. It's bigger, sicker and a whole lot louder. I hope the buttons scare/annoy the Hell out of you. Maybe it'll scare off the trolls that post on the message board.

We've been working on this .com bomb since around April, right after the big old folks reunion (Charlie loves age jokes). By my math it took about 2 and half months to get this baby done. Granted it may not be all the way there but we were pleased enough to release it. I'm like Microsoft and beta-test on the public. I hope it crashes your Mac and won't open in Firefox (it's a gay communist browser anyway). And report all broken links! God knows I'll never find them!

The big thing other than the juicy new graphics is the "skinning" or "Tattoo Anthrax.com" feature. You can now set Anthrax.com to look like your favorite album/era. Every time you visit the site will look like say Sound of White Noise or I'm The Man. Change it anytime or leave it on your favorite, it should stay set until Jan 18, 2038 (seriously, how random is that?)

What the hell else? YES, we will add more skins down the line... Fistfull, Stomp and all the rest. This is just what I could get done now and I didn't want you to have to wait for another 6 months while I finish those (read dick off) just to launch the site. The MESSAGE BOARD is still up and in all it's glory. Oh... FAN CLUB.

Finally after a 10-year hiatus the official Anthrax Worldwide Fan Club is being reborn! It's going to be the real deal Holyfield shit and not some half-baked Brent project that collapses. We're partnering with another firm that's going to help us bring buttloads of exclusive content to you and for your access on the Web. I'm talking passes, presales, exclusive downloads, merch, content. We're not ready to release this beast just yet but trust me it's going to be friggin' sweet. Yes you'll have to pay for membership but we'll try to keep it around the price of a case of beer and you'll definitely get your money's worth! Oh and yes I'm installing myself as fan club Dictator for life! Details to come, sign up to be notified on the Fan Club page.

Well, well, I've written enough. I'm feeling a little bloggy. ANTHRAX rules and now they have a Web site worthy of kings. I hope you enjoy the new site and just skin the shit out of it. Yes I'll be adding updates almost daily and I've got a few things I'm sitting on that I'll share with you in the coming weeks.

Welcome back Joey, welcome back Danny! One last thought... true story... I went to the Chicago show with my wife and a bunch of friends (Keanu Reeves hahaha) and was my usual drunken loud ass master self. I was in the process of frightening most of the backstage guests when I stumbled upon Danny and blathered something. My wife noticed this and tried to save face by teasing Danny with "I have no idea who that guy is". Danny replies back with all seriousness - "I don't either!" Tells you where I stand! Hahahaaahhhhhh... Horns and I'll talk to you guys on the board!

anthrax.com Dictator and regular asshole with a keyboard

PS - HUGE THANKS TO UNIVERSAL MUSIC. Bitch all you want about huge corporations bitch, but without them stepping up, getting behind the band and being totally metal... you'd still be looking at the old Killer A's site with info about We've Come For You All. Anthony and crew thank you so much! You rule!

PPS - ALSO HUGEMUTHAFRIGGINTHANX to Taras Lesko for the amazing animation work, Chris Madish for help with the code and being the world's most metrosexual metalhead, Jessica Spies for more code help and being the world's sexiest bellydancing white woman and Jonathan Cohen for being up my ass like a frightened hamster to get this done! YOU GUYS ARE DOMINANT!
