Anthrax - Spreading The Disease (1985)

美國東岸的Anthrax(炭疽熱)和Megadeth、Metallica、Slayer並譽Thrash四大天王，不過和其他三支西岸的Thrash團有著明顯的差異，融合punk的thrash crossover(這張還沒那麼明顯)的東岸Thrash和灣區正統派的Thrash聽起來有不同的爽感，這張2nd專輯推出時Anthrax正好維持他們最棒的陣容，主唱換了Joe Belladonna，整體曲風變的旋律許多，再加上Scott Ian這位我心目中的riff狂人，還有Frank Bello一流的bass line，整張專輯出了不少Thrash名曲，堪稱Thrash Metal的Classic，當然Anthrax音樂裡那種獨特的kuso感還是有偷偷的出現 :D 難怪有人說他們是rap metal/nu metal的始祖 lol 真是笑鼠我了.
