It includes a cover of Alice Cooper&#8217;s &#8220;I&#8217;m Eighteen&#8221;. This is the band&#8217;s only album to feature frontman Neil Turbin and bassist Dan Lilker, who were replaced by Matt Fallon (and eventually by third vocalist Joey Belladonna) and Frank Bello, respectively.<\/p>\n<p>Critical reception to <strong>Fistful of Metal<\/strong> was mixed. Xavier Russel of Kerrang! called it a great debut album, with songs played &#8220;at a hundred miles an hour&#8221;which could just have been &#8220;slightly more original.&#8221; Writing in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music, Colin Larkin called the cover art &#8220;tasteless&#8221;, but commended the album&#8217;s small, but steady commercial performance. AllMusic&#8217;s Steve Huey said Anthrax has not found its distinctive style yet, sounding more like a Judas Priest cover band. Huey found the lyrics utilizing heavy metal stereotypes and opined fans would find the record &#8220;off-putting&#8221;. Canadian journalist Martin Popoff praised the well-produced sound and the &#8220;almost operatic anti-thrash vocals&#8221;from Turbin, considering the album responsible for &#8220;putting New York back on the US metal map, and quality back in the books of bruising and uncompromising underground metal.&#8221; The term thrash metal was used for the first time in the music press by Kerrang! journalist Malcolm Dome, referring to the song &#8220;Metal Thrashing Mad&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Fistful of Metal is the debut studio album by American thrash metal band Anthrax, released in January, 1984 by Megaforce Records in the US and Music for Nations internationally.
