by Chris TrueEssentially an attempt by former Pantera frontman (and frontman for Superjoint Ritual and Down) Phil Anselmo to revisit the days of pure' hardcore, Arson Anthem (which not only harnessed the hardcore sound, but wrapped it in with a healthy dose of sludge) released their debut EP, the eight track Arson Anthem, in 2008. The band featured Anselmo on guitar, with Eyehategod's Mike Williams taking vocal duties, Collin Yeo on bass, and one Hank Williams III manning the traps. The band was signed to Housecore records, a label started by Anselmo for his side projects.
