On the strength of such further gold-certified releases as the 1987's I'm the Man EP, 1988's State of Euphoria, 1990's Persistence of Time, and 1991's Attack of the Killer B's, the group became one of metal's top dogs, but friction was brewing behind the scenes as Belladonna was eventually fired by the band in 1992. Undeterred, the singer formed a solo project called Belladonna, which has thus far issued a pair of releases, 1995's self-titled debut and 1998's Spells of Fear. In 1999, Belladonna reunited with his former Anthrax mates for a cover version of Ball of Confusion for the group's Return of the Killer A's release, and signed on to tour with the group to support the album (with vocal duties being split between Belladonna and his replacement, John Bush). But the plan was scrapped at the last minute, with Belladonna returning back to his solo band. In 2002, Belladonna was interviewed for an episode of VH1's #Behind the Music program, which explored the rocky career of Anthrax. ~ Greg Prato, Rovi
