Cultural Significance: Why Spreading the Disease Matters
Released in 1985, Spreading the Disease was Anthrax’s second studio album and the first to feature vocalist Joey Belladonna. This record marked a turning point not just for the band, but for the evolution of thrash metal as a genre. Featuring timeless tracks like “Madhouse” and “A.I.R.,” it mixed aggression, technical skill, and lyrical depth in a way that few bands matched at the time.
According to Louder Sound, Spreading the Disease solidified Anthrax’s position alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth in the Big Four of Thrash. Wearing the Anthrax Spreading The Disease T-Shirt isn’t just about music—it’s about representing an era that changed the face of heavy metal forever.
