Anthrax have shared "Vice of the People," a song that was previously only available as a bonus track on the Japanese-edition of their latest album, 'For All Kings.' The track will appear on the band's forthcoming 'For All Kings 7-Inch Box Set,' which is out this Friday, March 24. The song can be streamed at this location.
"Doing a box set edition of 'For All Kings' was something that we've always wanted to do," commented Anthrax drummer Charlie Benante. "We wanted to do something special, something that was so much more than the original release, and have it be fun for our audience when they open it up, just be floored by the different colored vinyl, the artwork, everything that's inside. And we think we've done that."
In addition to including "Vice of the People" and the full track-listing from 'For All Kings,' the 10 seven-inch vinyl disc set will also contain six demos tracks and two never-before-heard covers of The White Stripes' "Black Math" and Kansas' "Carry On." Each disc will feature artwork designed by Douglas Heusser and Stephen Thompson as well as band shots from Jimmy Hubbard. The artwork and discs can be seen in the unboxing video below.

Hell or Highwater–which is fronted by Atreyu drummer Brandon Saller–will release their second full-length, 'Vista,' on May 19 via Spinefarm Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song and music video, "I Want it All." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Saller said, "This video was fun to make. For the most part it's all one shot, so we had a blast. Best of all we got to keep the car and the money... which was nice."
"The song ponders success, and the idea of whether it's deserved or not," he added. "You get fed up, feel it's your time, and go for it. That's how we look at music. Think of it like the, 'If you build it, they will come 'philosophy. You're saying, 'It's my time to shine.'"

Recently, Northlane shared a mysterious teaser trailer to alert fans that they have news on the horizon. The band have since shared the music video for a brand-new song titled, "Citizen," indicating that they likely have a new album on the way, for which details have not yet been confirmed. The song and video are available below.
Speaking about the song, guitarist Josh Smith said in a statement: "'Citizen' is a song that was written about the First World police state and our willingness to live under the watch of those in power, for their means, while those who blow the lid on it suffer.
"Writing this one was quite a mission, we went through five completely different sets of lyrics and the final incarnation of the song was the eighth revision. It took a lot of work but we are proud of it and beyond excited to share it with you all."

Kobra and the Lotus will release their new album, 'Prevail I,' on May 12 via Napalm Records. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song, "You Don't Know." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
The band said, "To be alive brings many great things but among those things includes great suffering. It's painful to feel backed into a corner, judged, misunderstood for who we really are. We can never really know a person until we have seen their point of view, crawled into their skin, and walked a mile in their shoes, but that will never happen. This is the anthem for the man, the woman, the human, navigating their life the best way they can. After all, 'You don't know what it's like to be me.'"

Brooklyn, New York-based hardcore group Grail will release their new EP, 'Still Alive,' on March 21. In anticipation, the band has teamed up with Revolver to premiere their new song which features Trophy Scars' Jerry Jones, "Suffer." Check it out below and let us know what you think in the comments!
Vocalist Stason Bobo said, "'Suffer' is dedicated for all who live in a world full of hate and propaganda, numbing emotionally through the abuse of vices such as alcohol and medication to escape the anger and confusion of the reality our nation is presently operating under. The lyrics call to these many to decide whether they will fight for what's right or to continue being blind to a lie they created themselves by saying 'everything is fine.'"
