NUCLEUS

Nucleus, released worldwide on 29 March 2019, collects Anthem songs re-recorded with English lyrics throughout. The Japanese catalogue number is GQCS-90675. With this record Anthem became the first Japanese act to sign with the German metal label Nuclear Blast. Nuclear Blast handled Europe, Golden Robot Records North America, Australia and New Zealand, and Ward Records Japan and the rest of Asia. The month after it appeared, the band played the Keep It True festival in Germany. The selection draws mainly on the albums made since the band reformed - "Immortal Bind", "Black Empire", "Overload", "Eternal Warrior" and "Ghost In The Flame" among them - and reaches back to Domestic Booty for "Venom Strike". The Japanese limited first pressing added a DVD of The Worst Habits Die Hard - All Request Live, filmed at Club Citta in Kawasaki on 7 July 2018. Official videos were made for "Black Empire" and "Pain".
