ANTHRAX, MEGADETH Members Perform S.O.D. Classic During Soundcheck (Video)

October 19, 2010

Video footage of ANTHRAX members Scott Ian (guitar),Charlie Benante (drums) and Frankie Bello (bass) playing an instrumental version of the STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH (S.O.D.) classic "Milk" during a recent soundcheck on the the Jägermeister Music Tour — with MEGADETH drummer Shawn Drover handling second-guitar duties — can be viewed below.

One of the crucial bands in the musical chain linking hardcore punk with metal, the STORMTROOPERS OF DEATH — known as S.O.D. — were actually intended to be a one-off side project, done as a lark.

S.O.D. began in the mid-1980s during a break in the recording of ANTHRAX's "Spreading the Disease". What started out as a quick, satirical release for Scott Ian, Charlie Benante, Dan Lilker, and the infamous Billy Milano, S.O.D. has turned into a seminal band influencing countless hardcore, metalcore, and post-hardcore bands. Their first album, "Speak English or Die", has sold over 400,000 copies and remains an underground classic.
