EPISODE 280: THRAX-ATTACK WITH CHARLIE BENANTE! 🤘🔥
One of The Big Four have officially landed Down Under! As Anthrax prepares to tear the roof off sold-out venues across Australia, we are joined by the man behind the kit and the creative force himself—the legendary Charlie Benante.
This isn’t just a tour; it’s a live rebirth for one of metal’s most vital live forces. We’re diving deep into the Anthrax camp as they kick off their first Australian run since 2019, starting right here in Brisbane at the Fortitude Music Hall!

- Touring Australia 2026: From the mosh-pit anthems to the deep cuts, Charlie tells us what to expect from this high-octane, career-spanning set.
- Rock Royalty Memories: Charlie shares his favorite stories of the Spaceman himself, Ace Frehley.
