After signing a lucrative deal with Elektra in the early '90s, Anthrax surprised the heavy-metal community by sacking longtime frontman Joey Belladonna. His replacement, ex-Armored Saint singer John Bush, was more of a metal shouter than Belladonna (who was from the Journey/Steve Perry school of singing), as evidenced by the lineup's first album together, 1993's SOUND OF WHITE NOISE. Longtime fans embraced the new Anthrax immediately, helping make SOUND OF WHITE NOISE the band's highest-charting album ever. Tracks such as "Only," "Hy Pro Glo," and "Black Lodge" became staples on MTV's "Headbanger's Ball" program, while such other selections as "Potters Field" and "1,000 Points of Hate" are just as intense.
Industry Reviews
3.5 Stars - Very Good - ...packs a fat sonic wallop...this is state-of-the-art mosh-pit manna, about as good as modern metal gets...a powerful comeback from a group that never went away...
Rolling Stone (06/24/1993)
3 Stars - Good - ...an in-your-face explosion of chugging riffs and spine-tingling solos. [Ex-Armored Saint vocalist John] Bush's vocals complement guitarist Scott Ian's distinctive harmonies... there's plenty to keep the brain throbbing...
Q (07/01/1993)
...SOUND OF WHITE NOISE is the album Anthrax have been threatening to make for the last 10 years. It's their apotheosis--epic, hi-tech, chromium-plated metal machine music....
Melody Maker (05/29/1993)
...a sure bet to inject the iron-poor blood of rock's mainstream with the glorious kick of progressive power metal... - Rating: B+
