ANTHRAX: Spreading the Disease

Thrash before it grew a sense of self-importance.

Fast, sharp and unexpectedly catchy, this is the album where Anthrax realised songs could mosh and stick in your head.

Belladonna’s melodic vocals cut through a pile of riffs that range from pure speed to gleeful lunacy. Not their most famous record, but arguably their most fun - all muscle, no lectures.
