In August 1984, Turbin and Anthrax went their separate ways after long-standing personal issues. In his book Eddie Trunk’s Essential Hard Rock and Heavy Metal , music journalist Eddie Trunk admits pressuring Jon Zazula , Scott Ian and Anthrax into firing Turbin because of his personal taste in vocals. Singer Matt Fallon was briefly hired in late 1984, but he and the band soon parted ways. The remaining members decided to play live shows as a four-piece billed as “The Diseased” with Scott Ian on vocals, performing hardcore punk covers until a permanent singer could be found.
