Anthrax is back! Commemorating its 20th anniversary by touring with its original lineup for the first time in 13 years, Anthrax is exclusively playing its classics from 1985 to 1991, both on the Gigantour in early September and with Judas Priest from September 24 through October 18; with additional Judas Priest and Anthrax headline dates to be added.

Those gems are also heard on the band's most comprehensive "best of"
collection ever issued, its first two-CD retrospective, Anthrology: No Hit Wonders (1985-1991), and its first video compilation, the DVD Anthrology: No Hit Wonders (1985-1991) The Videos (both on Island/UMe), and on separate live CD and DVD packages Alive 2 (2005) (on Sanctuary Records) which documents the group's momentous summer 2005 reunion tour. All four packages will be released September 20, 2005.Anthrax reunited its original lineup of singer Joey Belladonna, guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz, bassist Frank Bello and drummer Charlie Benante with the Alive 2 (2005) DVD capturing the actual meeting in which the five came together for the first time in over 10 years.

Along with band rehearsals and behind-the-scenes footage, the DVD also
spotlights 13 performances on the group's triumphant reunion tour. In a unique twist, the booklets from the DVD and CD releases form an exclusive poster.In addition, just prior to the release of these four landmark collections, Anthrax will launch a new fan club Web site (to supplement its longstanding anthrax.com headquarters). The Anthrax CDC, home of the official Anthrax worldwide fan club, will be the online source for Anthrax exclusive content, contests, merchandise, etc. AnthraxCDC.com will be the place to mosh in cyberspace.
