Anthrax have just released a brand new single ‘Everybody’s got a plan’ from their long-awaited 12th full-length studio album ‘Cursum Perficio’ out September 18th via Nuclear Blast Records and Megaforce Records (North America).
The new video was mostly filmed on July 7th in Lisbon, Portugal when the multi-Grammy award-nominated New York hard rock titans – Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar) – toured with Iron Maiden in Europe. It features live performance footage and behind the scenes backstage fun with cutaways to classic B&W boxing footage that underline the song’s central lyrics: “Everybody’s got a plan/That’s until they get punched in the face…” the incendiary song, with its massive riffs and ferocious vocals.
“‘Everybody’s Got a Plan’ has always been one of my favorite songs on new LP” Benante says. “The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song.”
“Most of this video was shot opening for Iron Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026,” Ian notes. “We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn’t end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!”
Bello adds: “This video is a great representation of a day in the life of Anthrax on tour.”
