LABEL: Megaforce
VINYL RELEASE DATE: 05/12/2009
VARIANT: 10″ Vinyl 3LP

While Fistful of Metal is early East Coast thrash personified, Anthraxs debut LP is likewise a curious outlier in their hefty catalogue. While speed-metal salvos like Deathrider and Panic laid the groundwork for the acts first wave leaning particularly hard into the iron-plated wristwork of Scott Ian, one of metals most infamously locked-in rhythm riffers Fistful is also the sole Anthrax release sporting the cat-scratch screech of vocalist Neil Turbin and the low-end fingering of bassist Dan Lilker. Catch the metal-thrashing madness of Anthraxs first fantastic outing, now packaged as a triple-LP alongside their 1985 EP, Armed and Dangerous.
