│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Anthrax has been on an impressive streak since ║ │
│║ singer Joey Belladonna rejoined the band eight ║ │
│║ years ago. The band didn't only release two ║ │
│║ incredible comeback records with Worship Music ║ │
│║ and For All Kings but also delivered incredibly ║ │
│║ energetic live shows. The aptly titled Chile on ║ │
│║ Hell might be one of the very best live records ║ │
│║ ever released. Having attended two concerts of ║ │
│║ the band over the past few years, I can only ║ │
│║ confirm the band's incredible chemistry and will ║ │
│║ always remember these shows as some of the best ║ │
│║ I have ever attended. Kings Among Scotland ║ │
│║ doesn't disappoint in that regard either. The ║ │
│║ band is in great form. The drums sound dynamic, ║ │
│║ heavy and versatile. The bass guitar is the band ║ │
│║ sound's solid backbone. The guitar work is ║ │
│║ incredible, regarding both the fast thrash metal ║ │
│║ riffs and the heartfelt melodic passages. Joey ║ │
│║ Belladonna sings as if he were thirty years ║ │
│║ younger than he actually is and underlines his ║ │
│║ status as the genre's best vocalist. The crowd ║ │
│║ is great as well, sings and cheers along loudly ║ │
│║ to tracks like the hard rocking ''Madhouse'' and ║ │
│║ the atmospheric epic ''Be All, End All''. The ║ │
│║ production is crisp, direct and organic and ║ │
│║ makes you feel as if you were rocking Barrowland ║ │
│║ Ballroom in Glasgow with the five lads from the ║ │
│║ American East Coast. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Obviously, one might debate whether it's ║ │
│║ necessary to purchase a live record less than ║ │
│║ four years after the legendary Chile On Hell. ║ │
│║ The track lists have quite a few similarities. ║ │
│║ Chile on Hell featured six songs from Among the ║ │
│║ Living, Kings Among Scotland includes the entire ║ │
│║ record consisting of nine songs. Classics like ║ │
│║ ''Madhouse'', ''Antisocial'' and ''Medusa'' are ║ │
│║ included on both releases. At least, the new ║ │
│║ release includes three great renditions taken ║ │
│║ from Anthrax's last high-quality studio record ║ │
│║ For All Kings with the powerful ''Evil Twin'', ║ │
│║ the epic ''Blood Eagle Wins'' and the ║ │
│║ wonderfully melodic power ballad ''Breathing ║ │
│║ Lightning''. Still, the track lists of the two ║ │
│║ releases are too similar in my opinion. If you ║ │
│║ are a casual fan, you could just purchase the ║ │
│║ slightly better Chile On Hell because of its ║ │
│║ incredible crowd. Fans of Anthrax's records with ║ │
│║ Joey Belladonna will certainly purchase both ║ │
│║ records and enjoy the hell out of both. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Kings Among Scotland simply underlines Anthrax's ║ │
│║ status as one of the best live bands in the ║ │
│║ world and offers a generous eighteen tracks with ║ │
│║ a running time just above two hours. The video ║ │
│║ version of this release additionally features a ║ │
│║ few video clips, behind-the-scenes footage and ║ │
│║ gear rundown with each band member. The only ║ │
│║ downside is that there seems to be no release ║ │
│║ that combines the two CD version and the live ║ │
│║ DVD. Since I purchased the video version of ║ │
│║ Chile on Hell three and a half years ago, I will ║ │
│║ go for the double-disc release this time around. ║ │
│║ I can't wait to blast this excellent release in ║ │
│║ my car this summer. ║ │
