Thrash Masters Anthrax seem to be enjoying life at the moment, and Charlie Benante has put the spring in their collective steps down to a massive relationship improvement with returning frontman Joey Belladonna.
The drummer filled Uweekly.com in on why this current reunion is proving more fruitful than past reformations of the classic 'Thrax line-up.
He said: "Now it feels like the Anthrax of 1987, like that period, because it just seems to be gelling easier with Joey and things are moving together a lot quicker."
Despite a rosy picture in the Anthrax garden, Benante doesn't seem to be resting on his laurels, adding that he's recently taken some musical inspiration from Neil Peart and Rush.
Benante revealed: "The other night we got a copy of this Rush Classic Albums Moving Pictures documentary. I just watched it and got totally inspired again."
