Ex-ANTHRAX Singer JOEY BELLADONNA Performs In Clifton; Video Available
August 4, 2009Video footage of former ANTHRAX frontman Joey Belladonna performing the ANTHRAX classic "Madhouse" this past Saturday (August 1) at Dingbatz in Clifton, New Jersey can be viewed below.
Belladonna is currently writing material for a new solo album. Several demos are complete and will be posted on the vocalist's MySpace page soon.
Joey will perform this year's Mezcal Metal Fest, set to take place September 13, 2009 at Vive Cuervo Salon in Mexico.
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.
