Among the Living is the third studio album by American thrash metal band Anthrax. It was released on March 22, 1987, by
Megaforce Records in the US and by Island Records in the rest of the world. The album is dedicated to Cliff Burton of
Metallica, who died in a bus accident six months before its release while on tour with Anthrax as the opening act.
Veteran engineer Eddie Kramer, at his first venture with a thrash metal act, co-produced the album. Recording proceeded
smoothly and the band was enthusiastic, but different visions for the sound of the final release created contrasts between
Anthrax and the producer during the mixing at Compass Point Studios in the Bahamas. Ultimately, Anthrax succeeded in
maintaining the aggressive dry sound and fast rhythms of the original recordings, enriched by often-humorous lyrics dealing
with disparate subjects.
Anthrax members often described the album as their major breakthrough, as it catapulted the band from being a small club
attraction to arena and stadium stars. Critics acclaimed the album and promoted the band among the Big Four of Thrash
Metal elite. The band's second Gold record, Among the Living was certified Gold by the RIAA on July 31, 1990.
