The new video was mostly filmed on July 7 in Lisbon, Portugal when the band - Scott Ian (guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Jonathan Donais (guitar) - toured with Iron Maiden in Europe. It features live performance footage and behind the scenes backstage fun with cutaways to classic B&W boxing footage that underline the song's central lyrics: "Everybody's got a plan/That's until they get punched in the face..."
"'Everybody's Got a Plan' has always been one of my favorite songs on Cursum Perficio," says Benante. "The video basically shows the band on and off stage in a montage of video clips that kinda matches the velocity of the song. 'Everybody's got a plan/That's until they get punched in the face' is such a great line, and so true!"
"Most of this video was shot opening for [Iron] Maiden in Lisbon, Portugal at Estádio da Lu on July 7, 2026," Ian notes. "We wanted to capture us having fun on tour and what better way to do that? That was a plan that didn't end up with a punch in the face! Have fun watching my friends!"
Bello adds, "This video is a great representation of a day in the life of Anthrax on tour."
“Everybody's Got A Plan” follows “It’s For The Kids” and “The Edge Of Perfection" as the third preview of the album, which will be released September 18 via Nuclear Blast Records and Megaforce Records (North America).
The group’s 12th full-length studio set and first in ten years was produced by Jay Ruston and Anthrax, which was recorded at Dave Grohl's Studio 606 in Los Angeles.
