Anthrax have released “Everybody’s Got a Plan” as the latest single from their upcoming album, Cursum Perficio, out September 18th via Megaforce Records. The single comes along with a music video showing Anthrax’s life on the road and onstage during their support stint on the European leg of Iron Maiden’s “Run for Your Lives Tour.”
Music Video and Single Release
Anthrax’s new single, “Everybody’s Got a Plan,” showcases yet another angle of the band, differing from previous singles “It’s for the Kids” and “The Edge of Perfection.” The new single finds the band combining mid-paced thrash with major-key hard rock that wouldn’t have been out of place on late ’70s or early ’80s radio or on a classic AOR album.
Band Members’ Insights
Drummer Charlie Benante said of the track and its Mike Tyson-inspired title, “‘Everybody’s Got a Plan’ has always been one of my favorite songs on Cursum Perficio. The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song. ‘Everybody’s got a plan/ That’s until they get punched in the face’ is such a great line, and so true!”
Meanwhile, guitarist Scott Ian described the making of the video, saying, “Most of this video was shot opening for Iron Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026. We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn’t end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!”
Upcoming Tour
Anthrax are gearing up to embark on the North American leg of Iron Maiden’s “Run for Your Lives Tour” alongside fellow Big Four thrashers Megadeth. Get tickets for the tour on Vivid Seats.
In conclusion, Anthrax’s latest single and music video, “Everybody’s Got a Plan,” offer a unique glimpse into the band’s life on tour and their musical style, which continues to evolve and thrive. With their upcoming album Cursum Perficio and tour with Iron Maiden and Megadeth, Anthrax is sure to excite fans and bring their signature energy to the stage.
