Metal veterans Anthrax and Black Label Society both bring the heavy, but in very different ways, making for an intriguing bill. While Anthrax are among the Big 4 of thrash metal, Zakk Wylde’s BLS bring the groove — but each act also brings the fun. Throw in opener Hatebreed, and you have one helluva bill. — S.K.
