Bears, Mayors, Scraps & Bones is the third studio album by the
Cancer Bats. It was released on April 13, 2010 through Distort Entertainment in Canada. The name of the album derives from each of the band members personal nickname.[8]

My City Burning started out in 2006 to make hardcore the way they saw fit; with balls and a lot of energy. Expect a mix of oldschool hardcore and thrash metal with some catchy melodies, something along the lines of Terror, Sick Of It All and Walls of Jericho.

Director Tony Petrossian presented Slayer with the first draft, and the group gave a few suggestions for improvement. Never having met him, King recalled Petrossian “had a treatment, and we all dug the treatment so we just turned him loose.”[10] “Eyes of the Insane”‘s war-themed music video was filmed on August 13, 2006 in the Los Angeles area. Casting company Tolley Casparis Casting sought a male Caucasian between the ages of 18 and 26 to feature in the clip, with auditions held on August 10, 2006. Official project notes deemed that “This guy must be a serious actor, capable of emoting everything through his eyes. He was innocent a few months ago, now he is scarred by seeing so much fighting. Strong eyebrows that do not overpower the face. Scars or large veins actually a plus.”

The video was shot as “first-person narrative about the horrors leading up to the final moments of a soldier at war”, and was described as “a single, long and tight close-up of the soldier’s eye with images clearly reflected within his pupil and iris and perfectly choreographed with the rhythm of the music. Reflected are disconcerting images of para trooping into enemy territory, gunfire, helicopters and tanks, explosions, poignant flashbacks of his wife and child and home, and the images of his death.” Two endings were shot; one where the soldier is killed as the result of sustained combat wounds, and another where the soldier commits suicide – the latter one was used. Jeff Hanneman confirmed that the band “loved” the eye concept, and personally felt the video to be “pretty amazing” when he first viewed it. King admitted that the film is “pretty cool—I thought it was neat idea—very different, especially for us, because we usually do performance based videos.” The video was exclusively posted on mp3.com late in October 2006. In April 2007, it was announced the video had garnered a Metal Hammer Golden God Award nomination for Best Video with the winner being revealed at London, England’s Koko club on June 11, 2007.

It was released on September 15, 2009. This will be the band’s first album to be released by their new record label, Epitaph Records. The album artwork was created by guitarist Jordan Buckley. As of September 4, the album had leaked onto the Internet, and as of September 9, the entire album is streaming from the band’s MySpace page.

This made it a hit with metalheads who were afraid to embrace the band because of their “silly” side. The biggest single off the album was a cover of Joe Jackson’s “Got the Time”. Jackson himself even claimed that he enjoyed Anthrax’s cover version of his song. The band’s own original song “In My World” as well as “Belly of the Beast” were extremely and moderately successful, respectively.

Anthrax was always a band prone to experimentation; in 1987, they appeared on the title track of rap group U.T.F.O.’s album Lethal. In 1991, they collaborated with pioneering rap artists Public Enemy on a joint version of PE’s “Bring the Noise”, although Anthrax already did a fusion of rap and heavy metal in the form of “I’m the Man” in 1987, a comedic song originally slated to be played with the Beastie Boys (although they did not actually get to play this song with Anthrax until a 1991 remake). “Bring the Noise” was a hit, and the band had a successful joint tour with Public Enemy.

The “The Big Four” took the stage together for seven shows in the Sonisphere Festival concert series. The first show together took place in Warsaw, Poland on June 16, 2010 and the last took place in Istanbul, Turkey on June 27.

On May 5, 2010 Metallica announced that the live show in Sofia, Bulgaria on June 22, 2010 would be transmitted via satellite to over 450 movie theaters in the U.S. and over 350 theaters across Europe, Canada, and Latin America. The show also provided the historic moment of all current members of The Big Four (with the exception of Tom Araya, Kerry King and Jeff Hanneman) sharing the stage to perform the song Am I Evil by Diamond Head.
