Charlie Benante
Biography
Charlie Benante is an American drummer and musician, born in The Bronx, best known for his long tenure with the thrash metal band Anthrax and the crossover thrash group Stormtroopers of Death. He joined Anthrax in 1983, before the recording of its debut album Fistful of Metal, and has played on every release since, including twelve studio albums, while serving as the band's main composer. His rapid double kick work helped pioneer double bass drumming, and he is credited with popularizing the blast beat in thrash metal. He also plays guitar, contributing lead guitar to S.O.D.'s Speak English or Die, and works as a graphic artist who has designed many Anthrax album covers and T-shirts. He put out a solo album, Silver Linings, in 2021, and in 2022 joined the reunited Pantera in place of Vinnie Paul, touring with them since.
