Anthrax drops brutal new video

The metal band released 'Cursum Perficio,' the title track from their first album in a decade, out Friday. The black-and-white video shows a man dragged through fog, water, and tunnels before being drawn and quartered.

Former Samhain member stars

London May, best known as drummer and bassist for Glenn Danzig's goth-punk band Samhain, plays the tortured victim in the video. Samhain existed between the Misfits and Danzig's solo career.

Director Don Argott helms clip

Documentarian Don Argott, who directed Lamb of God's As the Palaces Burn film and co-directed Taylor Swift's The Eras Tour film, created the black-and-white video.

May broke finger on first day

London May suffered real injuries during filming, breaking his finger on day one but continuing to shoot. He endured real chains and real pain to complete the brutal production.

“'Cursum Perficio' brought out the beast in me. I broke my finger the very first day and had to beg them to keep shooting.”

Video explores life's meaning

Guitarist Scott Ian says the video captures the album's themes about measuring a life lived. The song's Latin title means 'your journey's over,' but the video shows the victim rising and taking control halfway through.

“How do you measure oceans of time, and what did you do with it? And were all the struggles worth it in the end?”
