they’re the kings of mosh and they take
no prisoners welcome to watchmojo.com
and today we’re counting down our picks
for the top ten anthrax songs for this
list we’ve chosen our entries based on a
combination of the artists fan favorites
and their most commercially successful
songs we will however be omitting any of
the Bands covers such as antisocial and
got the time as well as their
collaboration with Public Enemy for
their song bring the noise
although we do think these are amazing
recordings in their own right
number ten death Rider
they say that it’s best to start a story
at the beginning so we’re kicking off
this anthrax countdown with death riders
a speedy Sandow track from the band’s
debut LP Fistful of metal the song
served as a fast and aggressive
statement of intense for anthrax early
days as death Rider boasts a risk
ripping main riff from guitarist Scott
Ian and Dan Spitz
bolstered by some relentless double-kick
drumming from Charlie Benante behind the
KITT
meanwhile the song’s chorus features an
ear-piercing shriek by then frontman
Neil Turbin whose tenure with the band
was relegated to just this album
number nine loan justice
just as anthrax Frank fella might be one
of metals most underrated bass players
loan justice doesn’t always get the love
it deserves this jam from spreading the
disease opens up with mosh friendly bass
and drum intro before launching into a
heavy and melodic ode to the American
Wild West
Loen justice has gained steam with fans
since it’s 1985 debut even making an
appearance as a hidden bonus track on
the band’s 2004 album of classic
recordings with Ben frontman John Bush
the greater of two evils
what a God
number eight room for one more
go on now y’all
yeah dark brooding heavy this was the
sound of anthrax mark 3 now armed with
former armored Saint vocalist John Bush
it was the sound of white noise album
which would help redefine anthrax as a
muscular metal entity in the grunge
obsessed 90s
Oh yo
bah
the album exemplified a sound which
still features massive hooky riffs yet
which also operates more on groove and
subtlety
think of it as an tax filter down to its
most pure metal essence
number seven among the living our core
anti-fans will know this one right away
as this title track from their third
studio album wastes no time in muscling
its way onto our list with a haunting
intro melody early main riff and an
absolutely incendiary chorus
anthrax guitarist and lyricist Scott ian
has always been very open in rapping his
comic book and literature influences and
this is set on full display here on
among the living which is based upon
Stephen King’s classic post-apocalyptic
novel
the stand
it’s a track which is simultaneously fun
and fearsome and an enduring classic to
this very day
number six air
talk about an opener this tract from
spreading the disease really gets the
party started
Charlie Benante z’ rapid-fire drums
crack into the main riff which is
virtually guaranteed to get bodies
moving while Joey belladonna’s powerful
vocals carries the chorus into
fist-pumping euphoria
era was a song up first for anthrax as
it kicks off the band’s penchant for
acronyms song titles while also debuting
a chunkier mosh friendly punky musical
attack it was a style with which lent
anthrax major success and one fans would
flock to in droves
number five only
frantic guitars and blasting drums take
a backseat to head-bobbing grooves and
soaring vocals here on our next pick as
only proved that and ice could reinvent
themselves just fine in the 90s
frontman John Bush is a star of the show
here delivering a vocal tour-de-force
which rivals anything the singer had
achieved with his former bed armored
Saint while the songs restrained groove
and staccato rift a cos hypnotic in its
simplicity
yet emphatic in its intent to present
anthrax as an ever evolving and maturing
songwriting machine
number four I am the law
anthrax comes out of the gate swinging
hard here with this mean heavy and epic
ode to comic book legend Judge Dredd I
am the law takes no prisoners from the
first note to last as guitarist Scott
Ian and Dan Spitz go for the throat in a
song which possesses virtually no weak
points whatsoever all red line riffing
breakneck drums and Joey Belladonna
xanthe Emma cries to respect the badge
he earned it with his blood I am the law
continues to be a live staple for the
man and one of anthrax has absolute best
penned classics
number three madhouse
only the band’s second single and one of
its earliest music videos it proved to
be a great way for fans to discover the
band’s fast and loose sense of humor
which permeated so much of the Bands 80s
classic
madhouse opens up with a back-to-back
dose of anthrax riff magic while joy
belladonna puts in one of his finest
vocal performances here on his debut
outing with the band
meanwhile the video itself is a staple
of heavy-metal music of the 80s as a
madhouse mosh erupts around the
performing band classic stuff
number two Indians
the odds are pretty good that when most
metal fans think anthrax this song
probably isn’t very far from their mind
Indians is one of the songs most closely
related to the band’s catalogue a
statement of intent which encapsulate
sneer ly everything for which anthrax
tank
from its driving guitar riffs and
melodic vocals all the way to a vicious
mosh breakdown the song was also
representative of anthrax collective
message of positivity as a bad
as Indians calls out the unfair
treatment of First Nations in America
before we unveil our top pick here are a
few honorable mentions
number one caught in a mosh this is the
big one the song that always sends fists
and bodies flying at any anthrax show
Frank Bello kicks things off with this
iconic bass groove as cotton Amash
strikes like lightning into the heart of
metal fans everywhere as a true thrash
metal classic
there’s a reason why the song is so
connected with anthrax as a band as it
represents so strongly the group’s
musical intensity aesthetic roots and
electric energy simply stated it’s the
quintessential anthrax song
