“The Edge Of Perfection” has been selected as the second single off of Anthrax‘s long overdue new studio album, “Cursum Perficio“. The East Coast thrash metal greats have just begun streaming that song below, complete with a haunting Jeff Harlow-directed music video, which seems to sport quite the twist. “Cursum Perficio” is the band’s first new album since 2016’s “For All Kings“, and is on track for a September 18th release date. This song is the second single to be streamed from it ahead of time.
Guitarist/vocalist Scott Ian ranked this track among the band’s finest work, offering:
“It’s the apex predator of Anthrax songs. I think it’s the best song we’ve ever written and the best thing I’ve ever been a part of creatively. What’s the most powerful emotion that moves me more than anything? Of course, it’s love. Nothing moves me like the deep feeling that I get from my wife and son. I’m living on that edge for the rest of my life. This is mine, but there are a lot of ways to ruin it. I’ve ruined it in past iterations of my life, but it got me to where I am. Love is perfection, and I like being on the edge of it. I don’t want everything to be about all of the same shit. This record has a whole bunch of love, a whole bunch of fun, and a little hate.”
Drummer Charlie Benante added:
“When I think about songs like ‘Only’ and ‘Indians,’ you know that you hit something and you can feel it. That’s the way I felt about ‘The Edge Of Perfection.’”
