Hopefully I didn't scare anyone there.... After all, I'm not talking about a terrorist threat here.

Rather, it's the hardcore thrash metal band called Anthrax! Oh, yes -- get your headbanging juices flowing. Stick your pinky and index up, baby.

A musical explosion of of convolution and callous causality that can only be explained by the ordered chaos of fusion -- punk rock and heavy metal. Like pancakes and syrup for the rest of your life! Is there not anything better? That's the essence of Anthrax. Originally formed by guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz and then employing the hot sounds of vocalist John Bush, bass guitarist Frank Bello, and drummer Charlie Benante, they had sought out Elektra Records for an explosive debut to began the journey of five unique heavy metal albums and also featuring some exploration with hip-hop thanks to the collaboration of Public Enemy's "Bring the Noise" in 1991.

Can anyone not say anything good about this band? They fall in the line of trendsetters like Run DMC and Aerosmith, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park. Forever bridging the gap between everything punk, hip-hop, and heavy metal, Anthrax remains to be a hall-of-famer --

And they may be showing up in your neighborhood very soon! No need for the vaccine. This Anthrax is a healthy dose of steel in your blood. Oh, yeah!
