"I am really excited about my Home Game on UB,"
said Scott Ian, currently in the studio mixing
the new Anthrax album "Worship Music," due out
this summer. "With all of our crazy schedules,
we're never in the same city so it's not often
that I get to play Hold'em with all my friends.
UltimateBet has provided the venue for us to
play together and I can't wait to welcome some
UB players to the table and get to know them a
little more personally."

release of Anthrax's debut album, 1984's
"Fistful of Metal, and over the course of that
25-years, the band has remained one of heavy
metal's all-time great acts. Along with Slayer,
Metallica and Megadeth, Anthrax is credited with
co-founding the thrash genre. This summer,
Megaforce Records will release "Worship Music,"
Anthrax's first new studio album in six years.
The new album will mark the studio debut of new
singer Dan Nelson, who joins long-time members
