There is more than one artist with this name.
1) Anthrax is an American, New York City-based thrash metal band, who released its first full-length album in 1984. The band was one of the most popular bands of the 80s thrash metal scene and are notable for combining metal with rap and hardcore music early on. The band has sold over 10 million albums worldwide, and is classified as one of the ‘’big four’’ of thrash metal alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. Anthrax was formed in 1981 by guitarists Scott Ian and Danny Lilker. They found the band’s name in a biology textbook and claimed it because it sounded sufficiently evil to them. Nowadays Anthrax consists of these members: Dan Nelson on lead vocals, Charlie Benante on drums, guitarists Scott Ian and Rob Caggiano and Frank Bello playing the bass.
In 1985 Joey Belladonna joined Anthrax, and in the same year, the band released their second studio album Spreading The Disease (which included the hit
Madhouse). In 1987, Anthrax released their third album, Among The Living. This album began a lyrical trend that focused on movies, comic books, and Stephen King novels. For example, the song I Am The Law is a tribute to comic book hero Judge Dredd.
In 1990, Anthrax released the more serious Persistence Of Time to even greater success than State of Euphoria. The album was considerably darker but much more technical and progressive than Anthrax’s previous work.

Belladonna>>Turbin>>Bush>Nelson. Post-Persistence of Time has nothing. After Belladonna they started sucking corporate dicks for money. Reminds me of three other bands.

Nothing beats seeing Anthrax with Belladonna a couple years ago when they were back together briefly. Small venue, loud band: caught in a mosh for sure.
