There is more than one artist with this name.
1) Anthrax is a thrash metal band from New York, US.
2) Anthrax were an anarcho-punk band from Gravesend, Kent England.
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. This made it a hit with metalheads who were afraid to embrace the band because of their “silly” side.

One of the best non-thrash bands there are. SoWN, WCFYA, S442 where actually really good whether they are thrash or not. Of course Belladonna and definately the Turbin eras where better but it doesn't make the later albums bad. But V8:TTiR just sucked.

Gay isn't sad it's happy. I went up to Rob Halford after a gig and slapped him on the ass. What followed was a night of unrivalled passion followed by a cup of tea and a visit to the emergency room to treat my torn asshole.
