Anthrax to Headline HMS Hammer at Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2009
Thrash metal icons ANTHRAX have been confirmed as the headline band for this year’s HMS Hammer second stage, part of the Metal Hammer Golden Gods award show. Now in its second year, the Golden God’s second stage invites 500 lucky metal heads on board HMS Hammer, which sails up and down the river Thames for three hours docking at Indigo2 and depositing the bands and fans on board in time for the start of the award show. In honour of the legends that will be headlining this year’s second stage, Metal Hammer magazine will be rebranding the boat HMS Anthrax.
ANTHRAX’ gig aboard HMS Anthrax will be the band’s first outside of the US with new singer Dan Nelson, who joined the band in 2007 but has yet to tour the UK and Europe. The Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2009 take place on Monday, June 15 at Indigo2, part of London’s prestigious O2 complex. Also confirmed to perform aboard HMS Anthrax are cult Maryland rockers CLUTCH, MALEFICE and TRIGGER THE BLOODSHED.
