Thrash Metal

There is only one “Big Four” – and ANTHRAX is an essential part of it. Along with Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth, the American thrash legends have written themselves into history as pioneers that changed the heavy music scene forever. Since their beginnings in New York in the early 80s, ANTHRAX has been blasting raw energy, aggressive riffs and unmatched attitude to fans worldwide.

With classic releases like Among the Living, Spreading the Disease and Persistence of Time, they created a string of thrash milestones that still stand tall in the genre. At the same time, they’ve never been afraid to experiment – their collaboration with Public Enemy on Bring the Noise showed, for example, that thrash could meet hip-hop and open entirely new doors.

Live, ANTHRAX is pure energy shock: lightning-fast riffs from Scott Ian, Charlie Benante’s thunderous drums and Joey Belladonna’s iconic vocals whip audiences into a frenzy from the very first second. For more than four decades, the band has proven that thrash is still as vital and alive as it ever was – and that their name is written in flames in the history of metal.
