NEW YORK, NY, USA - In every band's career they have one show that stands out from the rest.

Whether it's their breakthrough or their crowning glory, there's always one that stands the test of time.

For ANTHRAX, their show at a sold out Metro in Chicago on Friday, December 5th, 2003, will forever stand as one of the shows to define the band's legendary career.

Thankfully, it was captured on film and audio on "Music Of Mass Destruction: Live From Chicago," due to be released next Tuesday, April 20th.

One band, eight cameras, and thousands of crazed fans all came together at The Metro for one of the most lethal live albums and DVDs to be issued in recent years.

Ninety minutes of pure destruction covering the entire career of ANTHRAX is captured here.

From their raw debut "Fistful Of Metal" through their latest, "We've Come For You All," it's on "Music Of Mass Destruction."

Songs like 'Metal Thrashing Mad,' 'Caught In A Mosh,' 'Be All End All,' 'Only,' and 'Safe Home,' and a slew of others were performed that night with all the power and passion that ANTHRAX has been known for throughout their 20-year career.

According to drummer Charlie Benante, "In the entire history of the band, this show was 'the one.'

From the moment we went on until the very last note we played it was on."

Benante continued, "I'm really glad we documented this show so everyone can see what I mean. It was so metal."

The DVD version of "Music Of Mass Destruction" features an assortment of various bonus material, including behind-the-scenes with separate band member segments, a featurette on famed comic book artist/painter/creator Alex Ross -- in addition to his amazing cover for last year's "We've Come For You All" -- provides the art work for this release.

5.1 Surround Sound, two songs filmed in Hyper Angle, as well as a bunch of hidden extras are also included here.

The widescreen DVD package comes with an audio CD that includes tracks from the show, and is available in both standard CD and standard-size DVD packaging.
