Anthrax released their fourth album State of Euphoria in September 1988, and it was produced by Mark Dodson , who had previously worked with Judas Priest , U.D.O. and Metal Church . While the album was not quite as well-received as Among the Living , owing to its “rushed” finish, State of Euphoria was certified gold about five months after its release, and one of the singles ” Antisocial “, originally by French heavy metal band Trust , became an MTV staple as part of the rotation on Headbangers Ball . By 1989, Anthrax was starting to play at arenas as a headlining or opening act, first supporting Ozzy Osbourne on his No Rest for the Wicked tour in North America, and then headlining European tours with Living Colour , Suicidal Tendencies and King’s X , and the U.S. Headbangers Ball Tour with Exodus and Helloween . Also in 1989, MTV sponsored a contest in which the winner had her home trashed by the band. This would later inspire Anthrax’s 1992 appearance on the television series Married… with Children , in which the Bundys win a similar TV contest.
