All Access has issued an interview with original ANTHRAX vocalist, DEATHRIDERS frontman Neil Turbin. The following is an excerpt from the interview, conducted by Justice Howard:

Q: As a thrash vocalist, you know that songs typically use fast, percussive and low-register guitar riffs, overlaid with shredding-style lead work- how is Deathriders keeping true to the thrash genre and how are they enhancing or changing it?

A: "That is a misperception about thrash. Thrash is a style of heavy metal music that does stay true to certain fundamentals like guitar chugging and rhythmic percussive double bass drumming. It has also been perceived as an all out play as fast as you can style of metal. I believe it is more thrash to have a singer who can belt it out with the best of them and combine that with driving, intense powerful music. I feel people have heard too many thrash bands where the vocals were very limited at best. I mean the other great thrash bands that had come on the scene when I was out there with Anthrax: METALLICA, SLAYER, and MEGADETH. All were and still are great thrash bands but I haven’t heard a Halford, Dio, Dickinson, Udo or Ozzy in any of em. They all kick ass as we all know, but none of them have ripping tearing vocals. I feel great vocals is what's missing in thrash metal! I’d rather hear a Mark Boals or a Ralf Scheepers on top of the thrashing rhythms than a mumbling, gargling cookie monster! Or just flat go nowhere vocals. If that’s what fans have come to except from thrash, then so be it. There is no rule that says thrash vocals have to be one-dimensional. I for one have my own metal thrashing mad style!!!!"
