No metalheads have probably missed all the mess that's been associated with this band these past years, but they have made ends meet and finally released a new album. Whether this is a comeback album and a shot at bigger stages again remains to be seen, but being part of The Big Four tour certainly helped them on their way back.

This album is a mix between old school and new school Anthrax. A lot of beats, riffs and harmonies are created to fit their eighties and early nineties sound, as well as there are songs that have a sound more like their later albums. Also Joey's voice is much darker nowadays and many songs are arranged to fit him.

There are definitely no fillers on this release, but also there are only two songs that really leaves a scratch deep down in my ears, Judas Priest and the first single, Fight'em 'Til You Can't. Most songs are good, even if I was hoping for a bit more though. I think Worship Music is just what you can expect from Anthrax in 2011. A solid thrash metal album that's worth buying.
