There are 2 bands named Anthrax. 1) One of the Big Four of 80's thrash metal (alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth), Anthrax enjoyed massive success in the 80's and still command a strong presence to this day. The group debuted with the raw, Metallica-ish Fistful Of Metal(the two bands being early signings to the Megaforce label), but it was the arrival of distinctive vocalist Joey Belladonnathat coincided with the band taking off, with albums such as Spreading The Diseaseand Among The Livingbeing bonafide thrash classics. By the end of the decade, however, relations between Belladonna and the others soured, resulting in his less-than-amicable departure. With new vocalist John Bush(ex- Armored Saint) in tow, Anthrax embarked on the second phase of their career.
