One day ahead of the release of their 11th studio album, For All Kings, Anthrax give us the lyric video for "Breathing Lightning".

As you might expect, the clip features a whole lotta lightning. However, the video also mixes in scenes of gunslingers from the Old West doing their thing, which had me scratching my head until I found out the song was inspired by the character Roland from Stephen King's Dark Tower series.

Here's what guitarist Scott Ian had to say about the track, according to Loudwire:

Lyrically, it’s another song that was influenced by Stephen King. Stephen King has been such a giant part of my life. His "Dark Tower" series; if I had to pick one thing that I love the most from him it would be the "Dark Tower" books because there’s seven books so I don’t have to choose one. The character Roland; it’s just something that stays with me a lot… I’m kind of weaving in and out of reality and fantasy in that song.

For All Kings is available for pre-order via Amazon and iTunes.
