MEMBERS OF ANTHRAX, FALL OUT BOY AND EVERYTIME I DIE FORM SIDE PROJECT, THE DAMNED THINGS

Blabbermouth.net -- U.K.'s Rock Sound magazine reported earlier today (note: the article has since been removed from the web site) that members of Fall Out Boy, Every Time I Die and Anthrax have teamed up to form the metal side-project The Damned Things.

The band is said to include Fall Out Boy guitarist Joe Trohman and drummer Andy Hurley; Every Time I Die vocalist Keith Buckley and Anthrax guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano. The group, whose lineup is rounded out by bassist David Karon, has reportedly written more than 15 songs and plans to hit the studio before Christmas to begin recording its debut album.

Trohman reportedly stated about The Damned Things: "Scott's right hand is the reason I got into playing punk rock, hardcore and metal! Having Keith as part of the mix is insane, we all know he writes incredible lyrics but he is also a really good singer. That is showcased in Every Time I Die, but we want him to go more into singing than screaming on this project."
