Anthrax is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Death Angel, Clawfinger, Symphony X, Metallica and Bad Brains. Those roots explain a lot about how Anthrax arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Exodus, Overkill, Testament, Death Angel and Kreator, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Testament, Darkest Hour, The Raven Age, Havok and Alice in Chains, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation.
