  "account": "Anthrax guitarist Scott Ian announced the band's return to Brazil in 2027, as part of the touring cycle for their upcoming album, Cursum Perficio. The album is set to release on September 18th via Megaforce Records and Nuclear Blast, with the real tour beginning in January of the following year. Ian confirmed that the band has no plans to retire, but admitted that Cursum Perficio could be their final full-length album. If Anthrax decided to discontinue making music altogether, the guitarist suggested that they would announce it rather than \"disappear mysteriously.\" The band's title track, Latin for \"I complete my journey,\" has fueled speculation about the album potentially being their last. Ian reiterated that he is not ruling out the possibility, stating, \"We might also just release individual songs. Who knows?\"",
