Among The Living: Deluxe Edn CD/DVD

Dedicated to the memory of the (at the time) tragically recently deceased Metallica bassist Cliff Burton, Anthrax's 1987 third album 'Among The Living' sees deluxe edition reissue treatment 4th December, 2009. It was a nine track thrash onslaught and is now widely considered the bands greatest achievement. It's characterized and driven by impossibly fast riffing, changing tempos and collectively shouted vocals - a sound which the band of course pioneered. Added for the new Among The Living (Deluxe Edition) version are previously unreleased studio outtakes of 'Indians', 'One World' and 'Imitation Of Life', an instrumental of 'I'm The Man', a live-in-Dallas 1987 version of 'I Am The Law', and 'Bud E Luv Bomb And Satan's Lounge Band', originally released as the 'I Am The Law' b-side. The bonus DVD is the live-in-London concert film Oidivnikufesin (N.F.V.), which went gold when issued on video in 1987. "This record was done at a time when life was moving so fast for us, and I think the music reflects that pace. I really enjoyed going back into 1986/87 and found some great stuff in my vault I had forgot about. I think Anthrax fans will enjoy this remastered collection; the high end and low end is back as how it was intended to sound. Thrash metal is alive and well in Among The Living," says drummer Charlie Benante.
