Heavy metal

Anthrax is a Heavy metal act. Their sound grew out of Helmet, Death Angel, Clawfinger, Symphony X and Metallica. Those roots explain a lot about how Anthrax arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Overkill, Testament, Kreator, Nuclear Assault and Destruction, 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. Altogether the chart holds 77 connections around Anthrax, reaching back through Helmet and forward to Testament.
