In 2009, the video game ''[[Brütal Legend]]'' was released, featuring the Anthrax song "Metal Thrashing Mad" on its soundtrack, with Turbin's vocals.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.metalunderground.com/news/details.cfm?newsid=47052|title="Brutal Legend" Video Game Track Listing Revealed|website=www.metalunderground.com|access-date=February 7, 2020}}</ref> Many of the songs Turbin wrote and recorded with the band have been re-recorded with different vocalists and appear on multiple albums and DVDs, including the double-platinum certified ''[[The Big Four: Live from Sofia, Bulgaria]]''.
Reflecting upon his time in Anthrax, Turbin has explained: <blockquote>"Even though I have no regrets about doing ''Fistful Of Metal'' or the first tour, there was nothing pleasant in any aspect about it. Scott [Ian, rhythm guitarist] had aspirations of wanting to be the central figure in the band, being the front man, and the guy is not even a lead guitar player. And there weren’t lots of song ideas coming from him. This was my agenda: I was there to rock. I came there to kick some ass and thrash. Scott admitted to the rest of the band that [bassist] Dan Lilker had to be let go, but it was a lot easier for him to use me as a scapegoat, especially after I wasn’t there anymore. Everybody knew that Dan just wasn’t cutting it on a number of levels. He took thirty takes to play the Alice Cooper cover "I'm Eighteen" in the studio. But there was this great resentment because I was getting a lot of attention, so I was completely undermined. I was foolish because I decided to weather the storm. But the momentum that was created, the excitement level was definitely something that I contributed to, and that can never be taken away from me."<ref>{{cite book | last1 = Wiederhorn| first1 = Jon | last1 = Turman| first1 = Katherine | title = [[Louder Than Hell: The Definitive Oral History of Metal]] | chapter = 5 Caught in a Mosh: Thrash Metal 1981-1991| publisher = HarperCollins| date = May 14, 2013 | location = New York, US | pages = 736| accessdate = 2013-06-14}}</ref></blockquote>

Career

[edit]

Anthrax

[edit]
Turbin with Anthrax in 1983

When Turbin was first contacted by Anthrax he was already in a band called AMRA, but left after a few months, which prompted him to answer Anthrax's advertisement. He attended the same high school as Scott Ian and Danny Lilker,[4] Bayside High School in New York City, and was in a class with Ian in his freshman year. Turbin earned the position as the first official band vocalist in August 1982. His first performance with Anthrax was at Great Gildersleeves on September 12, 1982.[citation needed]

He performed and recorded with the band on the original demo recordings[5] and their first studio album, Fistful of Metal. Turbin wrote the lyrics to all songs on that album (with exception of the cover of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen").[2] He also has writing credits on five of the seven songs on the band's Armed and Dangerous EP, as well as two songs on Spreading the Disease,[6] both of which were recorded by third Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna, who replaced second Anthrax vocalist Matt Fallon.[7]

Turbin's exit from Anthrax came two weeks after the band's first North American tour, "Anthrax US Attack Tour 1984", ending with a show at Roseland Ballroom on August 3.[8]

In 2009, the video game Brütal Legend was released, featuring the Anthrax song "Metal Thrashing Mad" on its soundtrack, with Turbin's vocals.[9] Many of the songs Turbin wrote and recorded with the band have been re-recorded with different vocalists and appear on multiple albums and DVDs, including the double-platinum certified The Big Four: Live from Sofia, Bulgaria.

In 2021, Turbin along with other former members and music elite participated in "Anthrax 40th Anniversary Celebrations", which aired on Anthrax's official YouTube channel on May 3, 2021.[10]
