[Promotum] Press release from Anthrax-the band

[Edmund A. Hintz]

     For those unfortunate souls that didn't live through 80's big hair 
metal bands, Anthrax is the name of one of the better known "thrash 
metal" bands that rose to popularity towards the end of the decade in the 
wake of Metallica's Master of Puppets album and the backlash against the 
big hair/big makeup/tight pants scene of Los Angeles. They are dealing 
with the sudden bad exposure with a reasonable amount of good humor (a 
spoof press release in which they say they're changing the band's name 
to... wait for it... "Basket full of Puppies")

NOT!!!

And for old times sake, here's the Anthrax album I loved so dear in my 
misspent youth:
