Antharx is an American thrash metal band that formed in New York City in 1981. As one of the "Big Four" thrash bands alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer, Anthrax established a unique footprint in the heavy metal genre with their aggressive guitar riffs, rapid-fire drumming, and signature combination of speed and melody. The band's lineup has seen changes over the years, but key members have included Scott Ian (rhythm guitar), Charlie Benante (drums), Frank Bello (bass), Joey Belladonna (vocals), and Dan Spitz (lead guitar). Anthrax's influence can be seen in both their musical output and their adventurous crossover with hip-hop, notably collaborating with Public Enemy on "Bring the Noise," which heralded a new era of genre-bending music.

Throughout their career, Anthrax has released a collection of influential albums, with a discography spanning over three decades. Their music continues to evolve, demonstrating their ability to adapt and remain relevant in the ever-changing landscape of metal. Their recent work, such as "For All Kings" and its subsequent deluxe edition, as well as live recordings like "Kings Among Scotland," showcases the band's enduring commitment to heavy metal and their impressive musicianship. With a robust catalogue of classic anthems and modern thrash masterpieces, Anthrax upholds a legacy as one of the genre's most enduring and respected acts, captivating audiences with both their studio recordings and their electrifying live performances.
