ANTHRAX<\/strong> was founded in 1981 and is considered one of heavy metal’s all time most popular bands, most notably being classified as one of the “big four” of thrash metal, alongside Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Anthrax initially recorded their tenth studio album entitled Worship Music<\/em> in 2008, the legendary metal act’s first (and only planned) recording (that ultimately never happened) with singer Dan Nelson<\/strong>, formerly of Devilsize<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although, Worship Music<\/em> finally released in the late summer of 2011 with Joey Belladonna<\/strong> on vocals, Dan Nelson is credited as having co-wrote most of the songs on the Worship Music album. Considering this is one of the shortest rides as the lead singer for any band in rock history fans must acknowledge this is one of the last great Anthrax albums, so no matter what, Nelson’s contribution to metal music is cemented forever with this brief glimpse into his incredible music talent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The song “I’m Alive” was written when Dan Nelson was a member of the band. Anthrax premiered it live in 2008, when it was titled “Vampires”. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

“I’m Alive” was described as “beautiful and grand with a build that demands audience participation”. The song was nominated for a Grammy Award in the category Best Hard Rock\/Metal Performance, the band’s fourth Grammy nomination.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
