About Joey Belladonna
Joey Belladonna, born on October 13, 1960, is an American singer best known as the lead vocalist of the iconic thrash metal band, Anthrax. Hailing from Oswego, New York, Belladonna’s powerful and versatile voice, combined with his charismatic stage presence, has made him one of the most celebrated and influential figures in the heavy metal genre.
Joey’s musical journey began at a young age, showing a natural inclination and talent for singing. He honed his vocal skills by performing in local bands and covering various rock and metal songs. In the early 1980s, Belladonna caught the attention of Anthrax, a pioneering band in the burgeoning thrash metal scene.
In 1985, Anthrax decided to part ways with their original vocalist, and Joey Belladonna officially joined the band. With his addition, Anthrax saw a dramatic shift in their sound, incorporating more melodic elements and cleaner vocals while still maintaining their aggressive and fast-paced style. Belladonna’s soaring vocals complemented the band’s high-energy performances and brought a new dimension to their music.
Joey’s debut album with Anthrax was “Spreading the Disease” (1985), which garnered critical acclaim and laid the foundation for their future success. The band’s breakthrough came with their 1987 album “Among the Living,” which featured iconic tracks like “Caught in a Mosh” and “Indians.” This album solidified Anthrax as one of the “Big Four” thrash metal bands, alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth.
Throughout the late ’80s and ’90s, Anthrax released several successful albums, including “State of Euphoria” (1988), “Persistence of Time” (1990), and “Sound of White Noise” (1993). Belladonna’s powerful vocal performances became synonymous with Anthrax’s signature sound during this era.
However, the music landscape changed in the mid-’90s, and Anthrax faced challenges in the industry. Joey Belladonna left the band in 1992, leading to a series of lineup changes over the years. During his time away from Anthrax, Belladonna pursued other musical projects and collaborations.
In 2010, Joey Belladonna reunited with Anthrax for a series of shows and eventually rejoined the band as their full-time vocalist. The return of the classic lineup, including Belladonna, brought renewed energy and enthusiasm from fans and critics alike.
With Belladonna back at the helm, Anthrax released acclaimed albums such as “Worship Music” (2011) and “For All Kings” (2016), further solidifying their place as titans of the thrash metal genre.
Beyond his work with Anthrax, Joey has also pursued solo projects, showcasing his diverse vocal abilities and exploring different musical styles.
Joey Belladonna’s impact on heavy metal cannot be overstated. His distinctive voice and dynamic stage presence have left an indelible mark on the genre, inspiring countless musicians and fans worldwide. As a frontman for Anthrax, he played a crucial role in elevating the band to legendary status and continues to be an influential figure in the metal community to this day.
Belladonna has shared the stage with Iron Maiden, Kiss, Ozzy Osbourne, Black Sabbath, Dio, Public Enemy, Living Color, Primus, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Alice Cooper, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Whitesnake, Slayer, Judas Priest, Slipknot, Motorhead, Lamb of God, Megadeth, Rob Zombie, Killswitch Engage, Alice in Chains, Steel Panther, Black Label Society, Kings X, Testament, Overkill, Exodus, Helloween, and many others.
Joey Belladonna’s musical journey has extended beyond his role as the lead vocalist of Anthrax. One notable venture he pursued was his involvement with the band “Beyond Frontiers.” Beyond Frontiers is a project where Belladonna showcased his versatility as a singer and explored different musical territories beyond the thrash metal genre.
With Beyond Frontiers, Joey had the opportunity to collaborate with musicians from diverse backgrounds, expanding his horizons and experimenting with various musical styles. The project allowed him to step out of his comfort zone and explore new vocal techniques, adding another layer of depth to his already impressive vocal abilities.
In this collaborative effort, Belladonna embraced opportunities to blend his powerful vocals with different instruments and genres, creating a unique fusion of sounds. The project’s focus on experimentation and musical exploration further solidified his reputation as a dynamic and open-minded artist willing to push boundaries and challenge his artistic expression.
Beyond Frontiers served as a platform for Joey Belladonna to demonstrate his artistic range, attracting both longtime fans and new audiences eager to experience his talents in fresh and exciting ways. Through this project, he continued to showcase his passion for music, dedication to his craft, and his unwavering commitment to evolving as an artist.
