Neil Turbin
Neil Turbin (born December 24, 1963) is an American singer known for being the first vocalist for thrash metal band Anthrax, in which he appeared on their first studio album and two special collectors edition songs (Soldiers Of Metal, Howling Furies) included on some versions of Armed And Dangerous. He is the current lead vocalist and songwriter of heavy metal band Neil Turbin as well as DeathRiders, and a member of classic hard rock band Bleed the Hunger. Neil Turbin is the west coast Music Journalist for The Metal Voice Youtube Channel contributing over 200 rock celebrity interviews including Rock Hall inductees Lou Gramm, Artimus Pyle, Glenn Hughes, Tom Morello, Geezer Butler, George Thorogood and hundreds of headline music news articles since 2015 to present.
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, Bayside High School in New York City, and was in a class with Ian in his freshman year. Scott’s brother Jason Rosenfeld who was 14 at the time was singing at the first couple of shows as an amateur since he wasn’t yet mature enough to be a professional singer. Scott basically instructed him on how he wanted him to sing. Neil Turbin joined after meeting with Scott, Danny and Greg Walls and rehearsing with this first lineup which included original drummer Dave Weiss on drums as the band's first professional vocalist in August 1982. His first performance with Anthrax was at Great Gildersleeves on September 12, 1982.[citation needed] Turbin cowrote a majority of songs on the band's single Soldiers Of Metal and on their debut album, Fistful of Metal. Turbin wrote the lyrics and melodies to all songs on the album (with the exception of their cover of Alice Cooper's "I'm Eighteen"). He also received writing credits on five of the seven songs on the band's Armed and Dangerous EP, as well as two songs on their second album Spreading the Disease,
He performed and recorded with the band on the original demo recordings 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"). 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, both of which were recorded by third Anthrax vocalist Joey Belladonna, who replaced second Anthrax vocalist Matt Fallon.
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.
In 2009, the video game Brütal Legend was released, featuring the Anthrax song "Metal Thrashing Mad" on its soundtrack, with Turbin's vocals. Some of the songs Turbin wrote and recorded with the band have been re-recorded with different vocalists and appear on multiple albums and DVDs.
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.
DeathRiders is a band named after one of Turbin's songs and was formed in 2001 by Turbin to support his debut solo album, Threatcon Delta.
Deathriders toured Monterrey Metalfest, Mexico in 2005; Sweden Rock in 2006; Tokyo, Japan, and the US in 2008; Rocktower 2009 Germany; Nightmare on St. Pauli Festival Germany 2009; Headbangers Open Air Germany 2009; and Expo Rock Tijuana 2010. They performed eight shows at the world-famous Whisky a Go Go in Hollywood in 2010. DeathRiders' Stay Screamin 2011 European Tour took them to Metal Bash 2011 in Germany; Highway To Dokk'em Open Air Festival 2011; and other venues throughout Tilburg, Netherlands, Vienna, Austria and Berlin, Germany.
