Formed by guitarist Scott Ian and bassist Dan Lilker in Queens, New York on July 18, 1981, Anthrax was one of the first thrash metal bands to emerge from the East Coast and quickly became regarded as a leader in the genre alongside Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth.
Active over the past five decades, Antrhax has released 11 studio albums, been awarded multiple gold and platinum certifications, received six Grammy nominations, toured the world since 1984 playing thousands of shows, including headlining Madison Square Garden and playing Yankee Stadium with the “Big Four”.
“For All Kings”‘s arrival followed a five-year period during which the group experienced a rebirth of sorts, beginning with Anthrax‘s inclusion on the “Big Four” tour, and continuing with the 2011 release of comeback LP “Worship Music”.
Frontman Joey Belladonna, whose most recent return to Anthrax was officially announced in May 2010, was originally the lead singer of Anthrax from 1984 to 1992, and was considered part of the band’s classic lineup (alongside Dan Spitz, Ian, Frank Bello and Charlie Benante), which reunited and toured during 2005 and 2006. His voice was featured on over 10 albums, which reportedly sold eight million copies worldwide.
