{"title":"Anthrax","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAnthrax is a thrash metal band from New York City, formed in 1981 by Scott Ian and Danny Lilker. With their initial line-up changes, the band eventually solidified with Neil Turbin on vocals, Dan Spitz on guitar, Charlie Benante on drums, and Lilker moving to bass. They gained worldwide success as one of the top-selling thrash metal bands in the 80s and early 90s. Anthrax also ventured into rap\/metal collaborations with Public Enemy and released alternative rock albums during the late 90s. After several lineup changes over the years, including vocalist switches between Joey Belladonna and John Bush, Anthrax reunited with Belladonna in 2010 and continues to create music that combines heavy metal and modern rock elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThroughout their career, Anthrax has released numerous LPs, EPs, singles, and greatest hits albums showcasing their evolution from pure thrash metal to alternative rock sounds. Notable releases include \"Fistful Of Metal\" (1984), \"The Sound Of White Noise\" (1993), \"We've Come For You All\" (2003), and \"Worship Music\" (2011). The band's collaborations with other artists such as Ross The Boss of Manowar for their first release \"Soldiers Of Metal\", as well as Public Enemy for a re-working of PE's song \"Bring The Noise\", have further expanded their musical reach.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n","products":[{"product_id":"fistful-of-metal","title":"Fistful Of Metal","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eFistful of Metal\u003c\/i\u003e is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band Anthrax, released in January, 1984 by Megaforce Records in the US and Music for Nations internationally.

Message board voters built the track list, and they did well, hitting on a mix of classics and fan favourites from the group's first five albums. But Two Evils also unites the band's early creative zenith with the resurgent promise of 2003's We've Come for You All. That album wasn't a comeback, since Anthrax had never really left. But it was definitely a return to form after a few years spent casting around for direction. Hearing the 2004 lineup of Ian, John Bush, Charlie Benante, Frank Bello, and Rob Caggiano absolutely rip into cuts like \"Metal Thrashing Mad\" and \"Caught in a Mosh\" -- and have their passion matched by raw and thumping production -- combines the thrill of returning to a great old album with knowing that the band's loving it just as much as you. Bush is particularly engaged for \"Indians,\" and Caggiano's frenetic soloing to open \"A.I.R.\" is a perfect foil to the track's near-hardcore bottom end. The beginning of \"Madhouse\" sounds like magnets ripping away iron plating, and \"I Am the Law\" and \"Gung-Ho\" are still clinics on thrash. Anthrax fans are sure to love The Greater of Two Evils, especially since they picked the tracks.

Ours wasn’t a show, it was a battle, not a living, but a lifestyle, a lifestyle with a difference - rather than looking only to ourselves, we sought to share our gains.
