ANTHRAX
TEAM WITH DARK MATTER COFFEE
FOR LIMITED EDITION
DARK MATTER COFFEE X ANTHRAX “CURSUM PERFICIO”
TO COINCIDE WITH THE RELEASE OF THE BAND’S
MUCH-ANTICIPATED ALBUM
‘CURSUM PERFICIO’
ON MEGAFORCE RECORDS
OUT SEPTEMBER 18

Ahead of the September 18 release of their long-awaited 12^th full-length studio album CURSUM PERFICIO (Megaforce Records), ANTHRAX today have announced a collaboration with Dark Matter Coffee for a special limited-edition Dark Matter Coffee x Anthrax “Cursum Perficio” brew.

The base of the “Cursum Perficio” coffee is “a washed process Catuai from Nicaragua that has been roasted with a little more heat to caramelize the sugars and bring out more toastiness, maintaining a sweet, nutty cup,” the company notes. “We paired the Catuai with coffee from the Pacas Family in El Salvador, a blend of Bourbon and Pacas beans that come from several farms in the Santa Ana region, which go through a washed process at the Cafe Tuxpal mill. This coffee has a lot of chocolatey notes in the cup, with a hint of citrus that comes through as it cools!”

Dark Matter Coffee x Anthrax “Cursum Perficio” is available in the following configurations:

Bagged (Whole Bean, Drip Coffee Grind, Espresso Grind, Press Pot Grind, Pour Over Grind): 12oz

Coffee Cold 8-Pack

“With Cursum Perficio, we have a blend of Central American washed coffees from Nicaragua and El Salvador that produce a piping hot mug of chocolatey and nutty notes balanced by a sweet citrus finish,” says ANTHRAX’s Charlie Benante. “This blend sits nicely next to my Schism and the Devil You Know blends from Dark Matter.”

CURSUM PERFICIO, the multi-GRAMMY® Award-nominated New York hard rock titans’ new album, marks the band’s first record in ten years since 2016’s For All Kings, which debuted in the Top 10 of the Billboard 200. The phrase Cursum Perficio is Latin for “My journey has come to an end,” “My journey is over,” or “I complete my journey.” It proves apropos for such a complete body of work. It will be available as a standard CD; Target exclusive CD with a fabric patch of the album cover; standard black double LP with pop-up gatefold; Target exclusive double LP, red zoetrope with pop up gatefold; Amazon exclusive double LP, purple zoetrope LP with pop-up gatefold; merch exclusive  lilac vinyl  double LP with pop-up gatefold; Metal Injection exclusive white vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Talk Shop Live exclusive signed with red ripple vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold; Indie exclusive – red, orange yellow vinyl double LP with pop-up gatefold.

The band—Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar)—dove into recording CURSUM PERFICIO in earnest during 2022, working out of Dave Grohl’s Studio 606 in Los Angeles. They carefully pieced together what would be this magnum opus, mining their history with reverence, delivering on fan expectations tenfold, and broadening the scope of their signature sound. Produced by Jay Ruston and ANTHRAX, the result is an album that’s as angry, aggressive, and alive as their most celebrated fare.
