Phil Anselmo and Hank III's Arson Anthem Set Album Release
. Here is the announcement: Arson Anthem is pleased to announce the October 12th, 2010 release of their brand new, first ever full-length release, entitled Insecurity Notoriety. "I'm not sure what it is... but when Hank III, Colin, Mike and I get into "Arson" mode, time stops. We know the mission is to write unforgiving hardcore inspired by a slew of '80's bands... but the result is its own animal, yet not too terrible removed from the genuine article," describes Anselmo. "With that said, Insecurity Notoriety is like listening to an old favorite blast from the skanking past... vicious, snotty, grating and anthemic! I know it's typical to call a modern-day hardcore band 'fresh' or 'different', especially when it's your band, but... it is! This effort makes our first EP sound like child's play, as it should. Play it over and over! Piss everyone off!" Arson Anthem was brought together in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, with Mike Williams moving into Anselmo's spare apartment after his home and possessions were destroyed. Through this connection, Williams and Anselmo spent time listening to Anselmo's irreplaceable hardcore music collection. The members relived the days of early 80's hardcore bands, such as Discharge, Negative Approach, Sheer Terror, and many others. It didn't take long for the music to squash their cabin fever, and inspire them to create a new venture that is now Arson Anthem. Anselmo knew of the underrated, yet unbridled percussion skills that he and William's mutual friend Hank Williams III possessed, causing the contact to be made and the band to come together. Finally, bassist Collin Yeo was recruited, and the sound was born. "All we had to do was meet and jam," states Anselmo. "F**king perfect, f**king real, f**k all."
