ANTHRAX - VOLUME 8:
THE THREAT IS REAL
PISS 'N' VINEGAR
Volume 8 is as you can guess Anthrax eight studio album to date. Stylewise it is a continuation of their sound from Stomp 442 and Sound of White Noise. So this is NOT a thrash metal album. It's more or less an alternative rock album like so many other albums of the 90', add to that some groove metal riffing and some acoustic arrangements here and there and you'll get this modern rock meets metal mess.
. It's sad to see how far the mighty Anthrax have fallen. Sure they weren't the only sellout amongst the big four. But I can't see how this type of music is more compelling for anyone. This sounds almost like Foo Fighters, it's really that bad.
Just like on Stomp 442 Dimebag Darrell does a guest appearence and so does Phil Anselmo (Pantera). There are even a country song on this record, Toast to the Extras and it's horrible.
This might sound harsch but Anthrax sounds like absolute garbage on this album in every imaginable way. Bad production with plastic sounding (St. Anger) drums, John Bush doing his yarl voice like he is an Eddie Wedder from wish.com.. Modern Anthrax is a disgrace and this is Anthrax worst album along with the lousy Stomp 442. They describe this album best themselves:
A heavy dose of reality, With a side of piss 'n vinegar.
