Anthrax Debut At #122, Surprising Ian

Anthrax new album ‘We’ve Come For You All’ has shifted 9,819 copies in the U.S. during its first week of release to debut at No. 122 on The Billboard 200 chart. “That’s more than I thought it would do after five years away,” guitarist Scott Ian said in a posting on the band’s official web site. “That’s basically what [the group’s last album] ‘Volume 8’ did in its first week and this one was based on mostly just Internet promo. We’ve only just begun this time. This is an eighteen-month plan. We haven’t even really hit radio yet and the video will be done at the end of the month. We’re coming back to do a full North American tour starting at the end of July.”
