Anthrax guitarist, Scott Ian, recently announced, "all 4 seasons of Blood & Guts and Bloodworks are coming to my YouTube channel. See me get killed in all kinds of fantastic ways! Over and over!"
Blood & Guts Season 1, Episode 4 is now available for streaming below.
Says Scott: "Hello fiends! On this weeks episode of Blood & Guts I let loose my inner/fatter Jerry Garcia - if Jerry Garcia knew Slayer riffs! A couple of behind the scenes notes: You can’t really tell in the video - I’m playing really loud. Way too loud for a guitar shop. It’s cranked. Only the manager knew it was me so when I walk out with the guitar, the other guys that worked there really thought I was stealing it. Jennifer did a great job turning me into not me! Have fun watching this rare Blood & Guts that doesn’t end with me getting killed! Instead I almost get arrested. "
Watch previously released Blood & Guts episodes below:
Guesting on a recent episode of That Rocks! - hosted by Eddie Trunk, Don Jamieson, and Jim Florentine - Scott Ian revealed the status of Anthrax's follow-up to their 2016 album, For All Kings, which has presumably been in the works for years.
Scott Ian: "Once lockdown and all that stuff happened, nothing creative was happening at all with us through that whole period. And then, slowly but surely, when we started playing shows again in '21 and going into '22, that's when we started working again, really. In the last year, we really started to put stuff together and Charlie (Benante / drums) and Frankie (Bello / bass) and I getting together and having writing sessions and arranging stuff, to the point where we finally went in the studio just recently and recorded nine songs that have drums, bass, and guitar done now. And (Jonathan) Donais' got a couple of lead (guitar) breaks that are killer that he's demoed and sent to us. He hasn't actually officially recorded them yet, but I think he's gonna get most of his stuff written and then he'll go in and record all of it. I'm pretty sure we've got dates on the books for Joey (Belladonna / vocals) to start working as well with Jay (Ruston / producer) next month, so yeah, everything's officially moving along at a decent pace now."
