ANTHRAX Singer Schedules Solo Dates

August 13, 2010

ANTHRAX singer Joey Belladonna has scheduled a couple of solo dates before he embarks on the second leg of the "American Carnage" tour featuring ANTHRAX, MEGADETH and SLAYER:

Sep. 10 - The Montage Music Hall - Rochester, NY
Sep. 15 - Grim's Roadhouse (formerly The Lighthouse) - Imperial, PA

The previously announced date at the Hard Rock Cafe on August 25 has been moved due to problems with the venue that are out of Belladonna's control. The new venue and date for the show is the Grim's Roadhouse on September 15. Refunds are available at points of purchase.

Belladonna was the lead singer of ANTHRAX from 1984 to 1992, and was considered part of the band's classic lineup (alongside Dan Spitz, Scott Ian, Frank Bello and Charlie Benante),which reunited and toured during 2005 and 2006. His voice was featured on over 10 albums, which reportedly sold eight million copies worldwide.

After splitting with ANTHRAX, Joey continued to make music with a solo project called BELLADONNA, which released its first self-titled debut in the mid-'90s. A follow-up effort, "Spells of Fear", came out in 1998 and it was heavily criticized for bad production and sloppy musicianship. The third album, or rather the demo recordings for what was supposed to be the third BELLADONNA album that was never recorded in a real studio, was self-released by Belladonna in 2003. It was a return to better songwriting and musicianship and it was well received by the fans.

Belladonna officially rejoined ANTHRAX in May 2010.
