Turbin, the first powerhouse vocalist of Thrash (Thrash Metal Big Four

east coast thrash pioneers Anthrax (from September 1982 to August
1984). Neil was the first permanent vocalist of Anthrax and helped
pioneer Thrash Metal on their groundbreaking debut album Fistful of
Metal and US Attack Tour ’84 with (NWOBHM band) Raven and Metallica.
Turbin a key songwriter and major contributor wrote all the lyrics and
provided the main concepts to such well known metal anthems such as:
as "Metal Thrashing Mad", "Armed and Dangerous", "Deathrider" and
"Gung Ho", which were on Anthrax's first three releases and many
subsequent live and greatest hits albums. Anthrax rose to # 8 on the
British charts with the release of Fistful of Metal. Neil Turbin vocals

DEATHRIDERS have been touring in support of their forthcoming debut
album "Back With A Vengeance" which is slated for release in 2011. The
album is currently being recorded in Los Angeles, Sweden and mixed in
Phoenix.
“Thrash is a style of heavy metal music that does stay true to certain
fundamentals like guitar chugging and rhythmic percussive double bass
drumming. It has also been perceived as an “all out play as fast as
you can” style of metal. I believe it is more Thrash to have a singer
who can belt it out with the best of them and combine that with
driving, intense powerful music. There is no rule that says Thrash
vocals have to be one-dimensional. I for one have my own metal
thrashing mad style!!!!”
