02) Anthrax recruit Dan Lilker for U.S & South American tour dates:

Anthrax have announced Dan Lilker’s return after a 40-year hiatus. Bassist Frank Bello will miss upcoming U.S. and South American tour dates due to personal reasons. Lilker, an Anthrax founding member, will fill in, marking his first appearance with the group in 40 years. Known for co-writing and playing on Anthrax’s debut album, Lilker’s extensive experience includes work with Nuclear Assault and Brutal Truth.

Lilker comments:

“I’m really looking forward to jamming with Anthrax again. When we parted ways back in 1984, they told me to stick around because they might need me in 40 years.”

Anthrax added: 

“We’re all very excited about with playing with Danny again, and we really appreciate his filling in for Frank. It’s been way too long since we played South America, so you don’t want to miss these shows, they’re going to be insane.”
