NEW YORK (AP) - Anthrax has picked an unknown singer to be their new frontman. Dan Nelson, a part-time singer and personal trainer from New York's Long Island, met Anthrax guitarist Rob Caggiano a few years ago and recently contacted him through MySpace, according to a statement issued Thursday by the band.

''It really is a dream come true,'' Nelson, 31, of Levittown, told Newsday. Anthrax had a reunion tour with former singer Joey Belladonna in 2006, but talks fell through after that, according to the statement. Nelson and the band met for a musical workout, and ''right from the first second Dan started 'Room for One More,' we knew,'' guitarist Scott Ian said in the statement, referring to a 1993 staple.

Anthrax was among heavy metal's biggest names in the 1980s and early 1990s, known for their speed, intensity and genre-crossing 1991 collaboration with Public Enemy on the rappers' ''Bring the Noise.'' The band is working on a new album, and will release 1993's ''Sound of White Noise'' and 1995's ''Stomp 442'' in digital formats Tuesday.

first Journey, now Anthrax.

Be sure to film your best "Can't Fight This Feeling" and post it over at REOSpeedwagon.com and the winner will take their lead singer slot

WOO-HOO, ANTHRAX IS BACK!!!

Anthrax is killer in concert!! I saw them on Gigantour with the "reunion" of vocalist Joey Belladonna and guitarist Dan Spitz, even though that didn't work out. It would have been great to see them with John Bush, because he's a great vocalist.

It was rumored that Corey Taylor of Slipknot was going to front them, and then Whitfield Crane of....Ugly Kid Joe??

This new guy Dan Nelson is from a band called Devilsize and Me, My Enemy. Rob Caggiano will be returning as lead guitarist as well.

At this rate, Van Halen may be looking to replace David Lee Roth - again.
