Feb 25, 2016In some ways a more focused effort than its predecessor, it does make occasional detours away from flat-out aggression and into radio-friendly hard rock, most notably on Breathing Lightning’s melodic peaks. It’s a blend that suits the band--and vocalist Joey Belladonna in particular--to a tee.

Feb 26, 2016In all honesty, For All Kings is great, but it is definitely front-loaded. It could have used a few more thrashers down the line to really push it to the next level, but it is still the best thing they’ve done since Persistence of Time.

Mar 1, 2016As is, it's a great outing by Anthrax, if slightly frustrating in its lack of ability to keep the great momentum going consistently.

Feb 24, 2016The riffs are punchy, the drumming relentless, and nary a note is wasted, and it strikes that balance between artistry and economy that has always made Anthrax an elite metal force.

Feb 22, 2016For All Kings is a great listen, but like many of the more serious and darker albums in Anthrax’s quiver the record is somewhat lacking in “fun”.
