WE'VE COME FOR YOU ALL is the 9th studio album by North American heavy metal band Anthrax. It was produced by the band & Scrap 60 & includes the singles "What Doesn't Die" "Safe Home" & "Takin' the Music Back." It is considered a comeback album for the band after lackluster commercial success of their previous 2 records. Despite this, the album only reached #122 on the Billboard 200 charts. It is also the first Anthrax record featuring Rob Caggiano on lead guitar & the last to feature original material with John Bush on vocals.
"Strap It On" & "Cadillac Rock Box" both feature guitar solos by "Dimebag" Darrell Abbott. A hidden track is also featured on the album - one minute after the last song ends, one can hear a percussion outtake which was not used because Charlie Benante was unaware he was humming.
The album's cover art was painted by famed comic book artist Alex Ross.
The single "Safe Home" features a ballad-like chorus and strong melody. Its music video features film actor Keanu Reeves. The video aired heavily on Uranium upon its release. In contrast, "What Doesn't Die" features a much darker musical tone & lyrics with a notably heavier style.
The album pulses to life with the tribal beat and crackling guitar of a metallic giant waking from a deep slumber. Following the briefest of pauses, the album explodes to life with "What Doesn't Die." It comes at you fast and hard, as one of the best rhythm sections in metal lays down its famous chug. The addition of guitarist / producer Rob Caggiano gives new blood to an already well-oiled machine. A power ballad ("Safe Home") and a Southern rock stomp ("Cadillac Rock Box") provide contrast to the thrash attack of "Nobody Knows Anything" and the title track. Anthrax can even make an acoustic guitar sound crunchy ("Refuse To Be Denied"). Headbangers, put away your gas mask, but keep your neck brace handy.
Partially recorded at Red Clay Studios, Suffern, New York.
