they re-signed to an independent label called ignition and released "volume 8: the threat is real", which again had charlie benante and paul crook playing guitar with solos from dimebag darrell (pantera's singer phil anselmo did backup vocals on one song too). the album did less successfully than "stomp 442", and not long after the album came out, ignition ceased to exist due to lack of success. anthrax took a short break, and john bush reunited with armored saint and released another album with them.
