ANTHRAX / THE GREATER OF TWO EVILS

This is a best of with an unusual twist, all the songs and have been chosen by fans and from the Joey Belladonna era, they have been re recorded with current vocalist John Bush, updated but somehow retain their original drive.

All the old classics are here, "Metal Thrashing Mad",, "Caught In A Mosh", "Indians", "I Am The Law" etc and its testament to Anthrax’s writing ability that all these years later they still sound so good and as relevant today as they did nearly 2 decades later, how many current bands will still be going 10 years from now and still sound undated. If you only know Anthrax from their recent albums this is a great introduction to hear some old classics brought out of the closet, dusted off and given a new lease of life and the fact that all of these were recorded over a 3 day period is even more astounding and proves what a great band Anthrax are, long may they continue.

You can’t call your self a Metal fan if you don’t have "Metal Thrashing Mad in your collection. Best tracks; all of them and if you get the digipack version you get an extra 3 tracks, how’s that for value.

TOTAL PLAYING TIME = 73 mins + 14 TRACKS
