Slayer

• Slayer’s cred: they’re one of the most influential bands of all time, double Grammy-winners, and the progenitors of vicious speed metal
• How vicious: Columbia refused to release their seminal 1986 album Reign of Blood; the band’s 2006 album Christ Illusion was forbidden from the entire nation of India
• How speedy: Reign of Blood was performed at an average of 220 beats per minute
• Where MTV ranked Slayer on its list of Top 100 metal bands of all time: number six
• Why: “Inspired by classic metal, hardcore punk, horror movies and a hunger to destroy, the band wrote brutal, unrestrained songs that were disturbing, controversial and took heavy metal to new extremes.”

Anthrax

• Anthrax’s claim to fame: apart from being multi-platinum, Grammy-nominated metal icons, these rockers are lifetime members of The Big Four, alongside Metallica, Megadeth, and Slayer
• Breakneck classics: “Caught in a Mosh” and “Antisocial”
• Their latest LP: 2011’s six-time Grammy-nominated Worship Music, which contains odes to metal heroes such as Dio and Judas Priest and the zombie-killing anthem “Fight ‘Em Til You Can’t”
• Interplanetary distinction: NASA chose Anthrax’s “Got the Time” as the song to wake up the Mars Rover, making them the first band to have their music played on another planet.
• Get there early: for Bay Area thrash heroes Death Angel’s breakneck time-signature changes and guitar riffs that gallop like burning horse
