Anthrax (1 of big four)


O bendu:
Treći bend koji se okitio titulom „big four“ titulom uz Metallicu, Megadeth i Slayer. Za njih se može reć da su bili jedinstveni u thrash metalu jer su uz catchy, moshy, lako pamtljive riffove prvi uveli melodične vokale (pravo pjevanje) dok većina thrash bendova pribjegava „zapovjednički način“ izvođenja vokala, naređivački ton i recitiranje (i James u metallici je pjevao ali Turbin i Belladona su to doveli na višu razinu. Ovaj bend je ako sam dobro skužio jedini imao veseliji pristup temama i izvođenju pjesama. I način na koji su se oblačili je bio kao da su ponekad ispali iz crtića ili iz surferskog tima. Teme su varirale, od thrash himni, likova iz crtića i stripova (I'm the law) te su kasnije počeli sa socijalnim i ozbiljnijim temama.
Bend je nastao 1981. Godine a prvi album je bio Fistful of Metal koji je izašao 1984. Godine i to je jedan od must have ranih thrash albuma koji bi svatko ko je imalo u thrash metalu trebao poslušat (i to cijeli album) Slijedi era sa joey Belladonom kao vokalom (sa Neil Turbinom su snimili samo prvijenac) i ta era traje do 1992. Godine kada Belladona izlazi iz grupe. Taj line-up postaje legendaran i to je zlatno doba Anthraxa.
To je doba kada je Anthrax 1987. Godine počeo kombinirati metal i rap (hip hop) što je dotada bilo nezamislivo. Te godine je i izdan I'm the man EP. Scott Ian (gitarist i osnivač Anthraxa) to objašanjava svojom opčinjenošću Hip hop bendom Public enemy koji će tek u devedesetima doživjeti bum na scenu. Naime, na koncertima iz 1987-88 je bilo moguće vidjeti njega kako nosi Public enemy majicu na cijelom touru. 1991. Je konačno došla suradnja sa Public enemyjem pa zajedno stvaraju pjesmu Bring the noise koja postaje hit. Nalazi se na EP kompilaciji Attack of the killer B's. Neki su skloni vjerovati da su oni tom pjesmom uzrokovali cijeli val budućih bendova koji će kombinirati rock i rap.
U 90-ima Anthrax prima ex-Armored saint pjevača John Bush-a s kojim snimaju album Sound of white noise 1993. Godine. Taj album je bio totalni zaokret od dotadašnjeg thrash stila; otišli su u grunge rock metal vode i značajno usporili tempo pjesama te izgubili na popularnosti. 1995. Godine Dan Spitz (lead gitara) odlazi iz benda izjavljujući da je izgubio strast za sviranjem gitare i sve manje se pojavljivao na probama i snimanjima albuma Stomp 442. Taj album je doživio mizeran uspjeh i otad Anthrax postaje četveročlani bend. Pod tom postavom snimaju 1998. Album Volume 8: the threat is real i čim su ga izdali, izdavačka kuća je propala i uspjeh je izostao. Imali su mini tour i petog člana (Rob Cagianno – lead gitara). Anthrax je kasnije bio na hiatusu a Bush se vratio i pokušao popraviti odnose sa bivšim bendom Armored Saintom. U sljedeće 3 godine se uglavnom izdaju kompilacije Anthraxovih hitova. 2003. Godine Anthrax ponovo se okuplja i stvaraju album We've come for you all koji je trebao označiti povratak korjenima i žestini pa ako je moguće i thrash metalu. No napola su uspjeli u tome. Jest da pola labuma i ima brzih i žestokih pjesama i to je oke, al druga polovica su balade ili laganice što ubija pozitivan ukupan dojam albuma. No bend je oživio i krenule su turneje 2003. I 2004. godine.Te godine basist Frank Bello odlazi iz Anthraxa. Potkraj 2004. Scott Ian počinje sanjati u reunionu legendarnog line-upa iz 1987. Godine na čelu sa Joey Belladonom i u ožujku 2005. Godine ih uspjeva sve okupiti. Isprva je to trebalo biti pola koncerata stari line-up a drugih pola koncerata novi line-up. John Bushu se to nije svidjelo pa se vratio Armored Saintu a Rob a su izbacili. Stari line-up je doživio veliki dvogodišnji tour po cijelom svijetu i doživjeli su veliki uspjeh i dobro su se zabavili. Jedan od koncerata su ovjekovječili na DVD/CD-u Alive 2. Svirali su uglavnom thrash hitove iz ere 1984 – 1991. Kada je došlo na red pitanje novog albuma, Belladona je napustio bend i ostali članovi nisu znali što sad. Spitz je također opet otišao iz benda i Anthrax je ostao s trojicom članova. Na snimanju pjesama im se pridružio Slipknot/Stone sour vokalist Corey Taylor koji je bio dugogodišnji Anthrax fan. No previše obaveza je imao s ova svoja dva benda pa je odlučio napustiti Anthrax. Nakon mjeseci šutnje, našli su novog vokalista Dana Nelasona a i Rob Caggiano se vratio kao gitarist. Prije su upitali John busha dali bi se vratio na mjesto vokalista no on je odbio i rekao da to stvarno ne bi bilo u redu. Sljedeći album je u izradi no datum izlaska se još ne zna. Živi bili pa vidjeli.

EVILE - Thrasher

Legions mass upon this place
For another night of violent abuse
Maniacs in leather and black
Ready and willing for the attack
Metal mayhem running free
Now all around is breaking loose
Fists are flying pluses race
The circle will destroy this place

Feel adrenaline rush
Jump into the pit
Kicking as you push
Braced for the hit
Bow down to the thrasher

Blood on the stage, a thousand rage
A thrasher’s soul on fire
Chaos spreads across the floor
Bands your head, make it sore
Metal madness engulfs the stage
In the pit you come of age
Let battle commence, no space for the weak
The thrasher’s dreams are no complete

Feel adrenaline rush
Jump into the pit
Kicking as you push
Braced for the hit
Bow down to the thrasher


SACRIFICE - My eyes see red & Apocalypse inside

My mind in constant pain
My thoughts dwell on what is profane
Becoming inhumane
Hate, rise above compassion
Emotions surge to this reaction
My Eyes See Red
.......
Inside is consuming
Anxieties domain
Declining will within myself
Is so hard to contain

My time running out will I
survive
My life wastes away still in
decline

Inside there is nothing
When there once was concern
You do not exist to me
The point of no return

My time running out will I
survive
My life wastes away still in
decline
My trust you have defied, hate
personified
Mental suicide apocalypse
inside
I am losing myself, you don't
want to find me
Alone with what I have become

Inside with myself now
And I cannot get free
Can't get out from under my skin
And escape misery

My time running out will I
survive
My life wastes away still in
decline
My trust you have defied, hate
personified
Not indemnified apocalypse
inside

I am losing my mind, remaining
hidden inside
Alone with what I have become


ARTILLERY - Khomaniac

He once appeared
A harmless threat
A leader wrapped in linen.
United fools, bewitched by words,
In pact with ignorance.

A powermind, dictating thoughts,
that leads toward his dream
To free the world, fanatically
Religious slavery.

Khomaniak - your holy war is a tragedy
Fataliac - won't your God let you see

And lead by this, insane old man
From shah to battlefield
No one's too young, to fight and die
For what this man believes

Someone must die, insanity's alive
Spreads with disease, the virus increase

A voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac"
Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac"
The war is eternal - "Khomaniac"
The outcome infernal

That voice in my ear says - "Khomaniac"
Your killing is pointless - "Fataliac"
The war is eternal - "Khomaniac"
The outcome infernal - So die



EXHORDER - Slaughter in the Vatican

Praised by all of thee
His hands are raised in order to bring salvation
Monarchy to hierarchy
Imminent excision
Propaganda for the "one true god"
Leaving your eternity feared
Denouncing dictation remove his lead
Exercise his lethal decision

The pontiff is gone, you are the one
To carry out and learn from your beliefs
Follow no more, the pope's been destroyed
An individual church of the will shall succeed

Papal supremacy...
Intertwining with infallibility

A dawning of a new faith arising now
The sheep without the shepherd evermore
Consumed by overconfident assumptions
The puritanic elders couldn't score
A holiday in Rome, people will not forget
The tires on the popemobile are slashed
A switch of a blade and a thrust through his stole
Steal his rings and pawn them in for cash

Some will let you be yourself
Others try to rule your soul
Imperials and rebels all trying to regain control
Roll out the red carpet, here comes our prince
The day He died, we've been crusaders since
Catholicism breaks in two
Time is running out for you

If the father of the church is to lead and teach you
Then why doesn't he follow the rules?
Imitate the son of man and live with the poor
Instead of fearing him while he's on tour

Avoid, abstain
Keep clean your life, your heart and soul
Don't miss the mass, you'll go to hell
You must repent and tell your sins

Pope, die!
You lied to me, my wife and child
Storm the Vatican, tear it down
The church is gone, we have won!



DESTRUCTION - Thrash 'til death!
Metal revolution!
Possessed we fight hand in hand
Sardonic aversions
Only in union we stand
Depressive perspective
Gives us a place to retreat
Never divided
No discussions stay to the roots

Real cultured, out of plastic
Can't share their philosophies
Sarcasm and passion
We have our own forces
Dictators predators
Won't rule our black hearts
Bestial invasion
Explodes in our evil souls

They can't break our will
We have the pleasure to kill
We are bonded by blood
Again they will rot

Thrash 'til death
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death

Discover our history
This rebellion ain't a fuckin' trend
Stillborn music
Swallow our self-defence
Metal revolution
Possessed we fight hand in hand
Eternal conviction
Only in union we stand

They can't break our will
We have the pleasure to kill
We are bonded by blood
Again they will rot

Thrash 'til death
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death

They can't break our will
We have the pleasure to kill
We are bonded by blood
Again they will rot

Thrash 'til death
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death
Immortal soul takes control - Immortal soul
Thrash 'til death

Thrash 'til death!
