The band's fourth album, "State of Euphoria," found Anthrax further refining their unique thrash sound while incorporating more melodic and adventurous elements, resulting in a diverse and compelling collection of songs.
- Recorded at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas with producer Carl Peterson, the album aimed for a more polished sound than its predecessors.
- Despite its experimental nature and departure from the raw thrash of previous efforts, "State of Euphoria" charted at number 32 on the Billboard 200.
- The album's lead single, "Antisocial," a cover of a Trust song, became a staple of their live shows and a fan favorite.
Hailing from Queens, New York, Anthrax are a pioneering force in thrash metal, known for their energetic performances and blend of heavy riffs with rap and hardcore influences. By 1988, they had established themselves as one of the "big four" of thrash, riding the success of their previous albums and expanding their sonic palette.
