About Anthrax

Anthrax is an American thrash metal band formed in New York in 1981. The original lineup included vocalist Joey Belladonna, guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz, bassist Frank Bello, and drummer Charlie Benante. The band's name was inspired by anthrax, a bacterium responsible for the disease known as anthrax, which was a concern at the time of the band's formation.

Musical Career:
Anthrax played a pivotal role in the development of thrash metal alongside bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. Their debut album, "Fistful of Metal," was released in 1984, but it was with the album "Among the Living" (1987) that they achieved international recognition. Anthrax continued to release influential albums, including "State of Euphoria" (1988), "Persistence of Time" (1990), and "Sound of White Noise" (1993), which marked the beginning of their collaboration with vocalist John Bush.

Influences:
Anthrax was influenced by classic metal bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest, as well as punk rock bands like The Ramones. Their music often blends elements of thrash metal, punk, and traditional heavy metal.

Musical Style:
Anthrax's musical style is primarily classified as thrash metal, a subgenre of heavy metal characterized by fast guitar riffs, powerful rhythms, and often politically and socially charged lyrics. Joey Belladonna's distinctive vocals and Scott Ian's sharp guitar riffs have helped define the band's sound.

Anthrax is also known for their unique blend of thrash metal and punk, creating an energetic and catchy musical style. The band has always had a penchant for humor and satire in their lyrics, setting them apart from other bands in the genre.

Anthrax remains a major force in the world of thrash metal, continuing to tour and record influential music. They have left an indelible mark on the metal scene and continue to be celebrated by fans of the genre worldwide.
