Nearly as much as Metallica and Megadeth, Anthrax were responsible for the emergence of speed and thrash metal. Combining the speed and fury of hardcore punk with the prominent guitars and vocals of heavy metal, they helped create a new subgenre of heavy metal on their early albums. Original guitarists Scott Ian and Dan Spitz were a formidable pair, spitting out lightning-fast riffs and solos. Unlike Metallica or Megadeth, they tempered their serious music with humor and realism. After their first album, Fistful of Metal, singer Joey Belladonna and bassist Frank Bello joined the band. Belladonna helped move the band away from conventional metal clichés, and over the next five albums, Anthrax became a leader of speed metal. As the 1980s became the 1990s, they started experimenting with hip-hop, leading to a tour with Public Enemy in 1991 and a joint re-recording of PE’s classic "Bring the Noise." Despite lineup and label issues throughout the decade, Anthrax continued to evolve. In 2010, after a seven-year hiatus, Anthrax reunited for "Worship Music," which many consider their best album since "Persistence of Time" (1990).
