History

1981–1992

Anthrax was originally formed in 1981 by Scott Ian, Dan Lilker and Dave Weiss. A few months later, John Connelly and Paul Kahn took over on vocals and bass, respectively, and Lilker switched to rhythm guitar. [1] [2] The band went through many lineup changes in its early stages – Connelly was replaced by Dirk Kennedy, followed by Ian's brother Jason Rosenfeld, then Tommy Wise; Greg Walls spent two years with the group on lead guitar (Ian switched to rhythm guitar), followed briefly by Bob Berry; Kahn was replaced by Kenny Kushner, before Lilker took over on bass when Walls joined; and Weiss was replaced by Greg D'Angelo. [2] The band eventually settled in 1983 with a lineup including Ian and Lilker, lead vocalist Neil Turbin (who joined in August 1982), [3] Dan Spitz (lead guitar, backing vocals) and Charlie Benante (drums). [4]

After signing with Jon Zazula's new thrash metal label Megaforce Records later in the year, Anthrax recorded its debut album Fistful of Metal . [4] Shortly after its January 1984 release, Turbin fired Lilker without consulting with the other members of the band, although Ian has since admitted that "there were issues" with the bassist. [5] He was replaced by Frank Bello. [6] Tensions continued to grow between Turbin and the rest of the group as they toured throughout 1984, leading to his eventual departure in August. [3] [7] The vocalist was briefly replaced by Matt Fallon, before Joey Belladonna joined later in the year. [8] After recording four studio albums with the band, Belladonna was fired from Anthrax in 1992 due to stylistic changes the group intended to take, with John Bush taking his place. [9]

1992 onwards

Dan Spitz left Anthrax in 1995 to become a professional watchmaker. [10] Guitars on Stomp 442 were recorded by Ian, Benante, Paul Crook and Pantera's Dimebag Darrell. [11] Crook remained with Anthrax for touring and recording after the release of Stomp 442, although never became an official member. [12] He was replaced in August 2001 by former Boiler Room guitarist Rob Caggiano. [13] Bello briefly left in March 2004, with Joey Vera temporarily taking his place. [14] It was announced in September 2005 that Belladonna, Spitz and Bello would return to Anthrax for a reunion tour and potentially new recordings. [15] Alive 2 was recorded on the tour, but by January 2007 the reunion had fallen through as Belladonna had reportedly chosen not to continue working with the other members. [16]

By the end of 2007, the group had enlisted Dan Nelson as its new lead vocalist and brought back Caggiano. [17] However, after recording a new album with the band, Nelson left in July 2009 and was replaced for future tour dates by Bush. [18] Belladonna returned to Anthrax the following year, making his first appearance at June's "big four" show and re-recording vocals on the album Worship Music . [19] Caggiano left the band in January 2013, [20] with Shadows Fall guitarist Jon Donais taking his place a week later. [21]
