Many of the b-sides were not available elsewhere--few ever saw the light of day in the band's homeland. But 1991's b-side compilation ATTACK OF THE KILLER B's collects almost all of these rare tracks, as well as live recordings and other songs recorded especially for the compilation. Highlights include spirited covers of Kiss's "Parasite," the Ventures' "Pipeline," and Discharge's "Protest and Survive," a collaboration with Public Enemy on its "Bring the Noise," plus re-recordings of tracks originally cut by the Anthrax side-project S.O.D., "Milk" and "Chromatic Death." ATTACK OF THE KILLER B's is an indispensable addition to the collection of any longtime fan.

Critics of heavy metal long pointed out the genre's penchant for often taking itself far too seriously, but N.Y.C. thrash metallists Anthrax showed that metal could indeed have a light-hearted side. Besides helping to put thrash metal on the map with a slew of classic albums in the 1980s, the band was one of the first to merge rap with metal via their cult hit "I'm the Man" and their historic collaboration with Public Enemy on the 1991 remix of PE's "Bring the Noise."
