Iminyaka yawo-1980 kwakuyiminyaka yegolide yohlobo lwe-thrash metal. Amaqembu anamakhono avela emhlabeni wonke futhi asheshe aduma. Kodwa kwakunamaqembu ambalwa ayengenakudlulwa. Baqala ukubizwa ngokuthi "i-big four of thrash metal", bonke abaculi ababeqondiswa yibo. Omane ahlanganisa amabhendi aseMelika: iMetallica, iMegadeth, iSlayer ne-Anthrax.
I-anthrax ingabameleli abangaziwa kakhulu balezi ezine ezingokomfanekiso. Lokhu kudalwe yinkinga eyadlula kuleli qembu ngokufika kweminyaka yawo-1990. Kodwa umsebenzi owawuvezwe yiqembu ngaphambi kwalokho waba "igolide" le-American thrash metal.
Iminyaka Yokuqala Ye-anthrax
Emsuka wokudalwa kweqembu ukuphela kwelungu elihlala njalo uScott Ian. Ungene ohlwini lokuqala lweqembu le-Anthrax. Ekuqaleni wayengumshayi wesiginci futhi ecula, kuyilapho uKenny Kasher ephethe ibhesi. U-Dave Weiss uhlezi ngemuva kwekhithi yesigubhu. Ngakho, ukwakheka kwaqedwa ngokugcwele ngo-1982. Kodwa lokhu kwalandelwa izinguquko eziningi, ngenxa yalokho isikhundla somculi saya kuNeil Turbin.
Naphezu kokuguquguquka kwabo, ibhendi yasayina neMegaforce Records. Uxhase ukuqoshwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala ye-Fistful of Metal. Umculo orekhodiwe udalwe ohlotsheni lwensimbi yesivinini, olubambe ulaka lwensimbi edumile ye-thrash. Futhi ku-albhamu bekukhona inguqulo yekhava yengoma ka-Alice Cooper ethi I'm Eighteen, eyaba ngenye yezingoma eziphumelele kakhulu.
Naphezu kwempumelelo ethile, izinguquko eqenjini le-Anthrax azizange zime. Naphezu kweqiniso lokuthi kwakuwumculo owaba yimpahla eyinhloko ye-debut, u-Neil Turbin waxoshwa kungazelelwe. UJoey Belladonna osemncane wathathwa esikhundleni sakhe.
Ukufika kukaJoey Belladonna
Ngokufika kukaJoey Belladonna, kwaqala isikhathi "segolide" somsebenzi wokudala weqembu le-Anthrax. Futhi kakade ngo-1985, kwakhululwa i-albhamu yokuqala encane ethi Armed and Dangerous, eyakhanga ilebula le-Island Records. Usayine inkontileka enemali neqembu. Umphumela wayo kwaba i-albhamu yesibili yobude obugcwele ethi Spreading the Disease, eyaba yi-classic yangempela ye-thrash metal.
Kwakungemuva kokukhishwa kwe-albhamu yesibili lapho leli qembu laziwa emhlabeni wonke. Ukuvakasha okuhlanganyelwe nabaculi baseMetallica nakho kube nesandla ekwandeni kokuthandwa. Nabo, i-Anthrax yadlala amakhonsathi amaningana amakhulu ngasikhathi sinye.
Kuqoshwe ividiyo yengoma kaMadhouse, eyadlalwa kuMTV. Kodwa ngokushesha ividiyo yanyamalala ezikrinini ze-TV. Lokhu kube ngenxa yokuqukethwe okucasulayo mayelana nabagula ngengqondo.
Izimo ezinjalo ezimbi azizange zithinte impumelelo yeqembu, elikhiphe i-albhamu yesithathu ethi Phakathi Kwabaphilayo. Irekhodi elisha liqinise isimo sezihlabani ze-thrash metal kubaculi, ezimi ezingeni elifanayo nelikaMegadeth, Metallica kanye ne-Slayer.
Ngo-September 1988, kwakhululwa i-albhamu yesine, State of Euphoria. Manje uthathwa njengomunye wababuthaka kakhulu esikhathini sakudala se-Anthrax. Naphezu kwalokhu, i-albhamu yazuza isimo "segolide", futhi yathatha isikhundla sama-30 kumashadi aseMelika.
Impumelelo yaleli qembu iqiniswe enye inguqulo, i-Persistence of Time, eyaphuma eminyakeni emibili kamuva. Ukuqanjwa okuphumelele kakhulu kwediski kwakuyinguqulo yekhava yengoma ethi Got the Time, eyaphenduka ingoma entsha eyinhloko ye-Anthrax.
Kwehliswe ukuthandwa
Iminyaka yawo-1990 yafika yadlula, futhi kwaba yinhlekelele kumabhande amaningi ensimbi ye-thrash. Abaculi baphoqeleke ukuthi bazame ukuhambisana nomncintiswano. Kodwa ku-Anthrax, yonke into yaphenduka "ukwehluleka". Okokuqala, leli qembu lashiywa nguBeladonna, ngaphandle kokuthi iqembu lalahlekelwa ubunikazi balo bangaphambili.
Indawo ka-Beladonna yathathwa nguJohn Bush, owaba ngumholi omusha we-Anthrax. I-albhamu ethi Sound of White Noise yayihluke kakhulu kunoma yini eyayike yadlalwa yiqembu phambilini. Lesi simo sibangele izingxabano ezintsha eqenjini, okwalandelwa ukuhlehliswa kabusha kohlu.
Khona-ke iqembu laqala ukusebenza ku-grunge. Kwaba isiqinisekiso esisobala sokungqubuzana kokudala lapho abaculi bawela khona. Zonke izivivinyo ezenzeka eqenjini zenze ngisho “abalandeli” abazinikele kakhulu beqembu le-Anthrax bafulathele.
Kwaba ngo-2003 kuphela lapho ibhendi yaqala khona ukucula, okukhumbuza kancane umsebenzi walo wangaphambili. Icwecwe elithi We've Come For You All kwaba ngeyokugcina kaBush. Ngemva kwalokho, kwaqala ukwehla isikhathi eside emsebenzini weqembu le-Anthrax.
Iqembu alizange liyeke ukuba khona, kodwa lalingajahile namarekhodi amasha. Bekunamahemuhemu engeziwe ku-inthanethi okuthi leli qembu ngeke liphinde libuyele emsebenzini wesitudiyo osebenzayo.
Buyela ezimpandeni ze-Anthrax
Ukubuya okulindelwe isikhathi eside ezimpandeni ze-thrash akuzange kufike kuze kube ngu-2011, lapho uJoey Beladonna ebuyela ebhendini. Lo mcimbi waba yingqophamlando, njengoba kwaqoshwa amarekhodi angcono kakhulu eqembu le-Anthrax nge-Beladonna. Irekhodi elithi Worship Music lakhululwa ngo-September ngawo lowo nyaka, laba ngesinye sezenzakalo eziyinhloko emculweni onesigqi esinamandla.
I-albhamu ithole ukubuyekezwa okuhle, okusizwa umsindo wakudala ongenazo izici ze-grunge, i-groove, noma enye insimbi. I-anthrax ithathelwe ku-thrash metal yesikole sakudala, futhi akukona nje ukuqondana ukuthi bayingxenye ye-Big Four edume.
I-albhamu elandelayo yakhululwa ngo-2016. Ukukhishwa kwethi For All Kings kwaba ngeye-11 futhi kwaba ngenye yeziphumelele kakhulu emsebenzini weqembu. Umsindo okule albhamu ufane ncamashi nowomculo wokudumisa.
Abalandeli bomsebenzi wakuqala weqembu baneliseke ngokuqukethwe. Ukusekela leli rekhodi, leli qembu lathatha uhambo olude, lapho lavakashela khona izindawo ezikude kakhulu zomhlaba.
