From Cursum Perficio (2026). Cursum Perficio is the twelfth studio album by American thrash metal band Anthrax, released on September 18, 2026. No source we found ties a guitar or amp to this recording, so a Jackson Pro Series Rhoads RRT-3 through a Marshall JCM800 2203, the rig we use for Anthrax's other songs from Cursum Perficio, stands in. Set the amp to a driven, high-gain crunch and use the bridge pickup. Standard tuning.
