ANTHRAX Spreading The Disease - classic Thrash Metal on 1990 CD
Format: CD Condition: New Year of Release: 1990 Cat. No.: 826668 Label: Island --Fontana--
Anthrax's first album with vocalist Joey Belladonna is a huge leap forward, featuring strongly rhythmic, pounding riffs and vocals that alternate between hardcore-type shouting and surprising amounts of melody.
Two tracks left over from the Dan Lilker days are here as well. The traditional metal lyrical fare is more original, while also introducing a penchant for paying tribute to favorite fictional characters and pop culture artifacts ("Lone Justice" and "Medusa" are prime examples). One of Anthrax's best efforts.
