Anthrax is one of “The Big 4” of Thrash Metal bands.
Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer are the other three.
What “The Big 4” means is that they are the four biggest bands of that genre of Heavy Metal.
Anthrax have been around for 44 years and are still going strong.
They’ve had a few lineup changes, especially in the vocal department (their singer Joey Belladonna has been in the band three times or technically four times), but they’ve always kicked butt and I think all their albums rock.
I’ve seen them three times in concert and they’re always great live.
