ANTHRAX‘s Frank Bello has returned to Dave Grohl‘s Studio 606 in Northridge, California to resume recording the bass tracks for the band’s long-awaited follow-up to 2016’s “For All Kings” album.
On Friday (November 1),Bello took to his Instagram to share a photo from the studio, and he included the following message: “Always great to be back recording at #studio606- great sounds, great people & great vibes… #anthrax #basstracks #monsterenergy #spectorbass #tech21 #mesaboogie #emgpickups #monocreators #monstermusic #goodvibes #metal”.
Frank played his first show with ANTHRAX in nearly a year and a half on October 12 at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California.
Bello and ANTHRAX were supposed to perform at the Louder Than Life festival in Louisville, Kentucky on September 27, but their show ended up being canceled due to severe weather.
Prior to Aftershock, Bello last played with ANTHRAX in May 2023 at the Milwaukee Metal Fest in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
In April and early May, Bello sat out ANTHRAX’s South American tour as well as two U.S. festival dates due to “personal reasons.” Filling in on those shows was ANTHRAX founding member and original bassist Dan Lilker, marking his first appearance with the band in 40 years. Lilker, who co-wrote and played on ANTHRAX’s debut album “Fistful Of Metal”, was also a member of STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH with ANTHRAX drummer Charlie Benante and guitarist Scott Ian.
