About

For 30 years Anthrax has been bringing the noise and treating ticket buyers to aggressive, fist-pumping music. Blistering guitars and double-pedal drums are only the beginning. Anthrax combines elements of punk, funk, hardcore and rap into their sound, and its stage presence on tour is more frat party run amuck and less fire and brimstone metal. The band’s use of humor sets them apart from their contemporaries as Scott Ian, typically dressed for an Anthrax concert in shorts and t-shirt, looks like he should be on a surfboard or at the skate park. Their newest LP Worship Music was released in 2011 debuted at No. 12 on the Billboard 200.

Anthrax’s story began in 1981, when the guitarist Scott Ian and then bassist Danny Lilker looked through a biology textbook in search of a moniker for their New York City thrash-metal band. Classic 1980s albums Fistful of Metal and Spreading the Disease cemented Anthrax’s signature stomp and crush sound, churning up mosh pits and sending waves of concert goers into a head-banging frenzy. Anthrax’s biggest crossover hit is “Bring the Noise,” a 1991 collaboration with Pubic Enemy. Not only did this metal/rap hybrid get serious airtime on MTV, but it is also credited for being a genre-defining moment in music and setting the groundwork for a genre known as “nu metal.” Artists are still giving a shout out to the seminal song; this is best illustrated in M.I.A.’s new album “Matangi,” which has a song tilted “Bring the Noize.” The crossover hit from the 1990s is still crossing over today — and the band is still as great as they've ever been.

    Legendary Show

    by Swissman on 2/20/23Riverside Municipal Auditorium - Riverside

    It's been a minute since I have been to a metal show. Exodus in true fashion tore that place up. I wasn't familiar with BLS but did love their tribute to Dime and Vinnie. Anthrax had a stage show fit for an arena. Their sound was crisp and Joey sounded amazing.

    Killer as always

    by legalize freedom! on 2/16/23Bayou Music Center - Houston

    Anthrax laid the wood in Houston 2023. Just a killer performance. I was completely floored by Joey's performance. He's got no business being able to sing like that in his 60's. I thought it was 1987 again.

    Greatest Thrash Band of ALL TIME

    by JWoDei on 2/15/23Bayou Music Center - Houston

    I've seen Anthrax twice. The first time they blew Megadeth & Slayer out of the water. This time they blew Exodus and Black Label Society out of the water. Amazing stage show, spot on performance. The greatest thrash band of ALL TIME.

    Good experience

    by Jeff on 2/14/23Bayou Music Center - Houston

    Very fun show but I like to get to the front and I don’t understand why people go to the front with drinks why they know they’re gonna be people moshing and jumping up and down so they end up spilling it on people. But overall great event

    40yrs of Amazing

    by Mister9am on 2/12/23Citizens House of Blues Boston - Boston

    The Anthrax show was awesome from start to finish. The opening bands fired up the crowd with powerful performances. The best part was the video tribute that really put into perspective how influential and dedicated Anthrax is to giving their fans and the world the most genuine music experience a lover of rock and metal could ever want in their lifetime. My hope is that I can see them in concert again.
