ANTHRAX “Spreading The Disease” LP

Anthrax is one of the most important American thrash metal bands and a member of the legendary “Big Four” – alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. From the outset, the New York-based band distinguished itself with exceptional energy, fast-paced playing, and a blend of thrash metal with hardcore punk influences. Spreading the Disease was the album that solidified the band’s distinctive style and paved the way for their global career.

Released in 1985, Anthrax’s second album is one of the classics of early American thrash metal. It featured songs such as “A.I.R.”, “Madhouse,” “Armed and Dangerous,” and “Medusa.” Spreading the Disease is a must-have for fans of classic mid-80s thrash.
