Turbin a key songwriter and major contributor wrote all the lyrics and provided the main concepts to such well known metal anthems such as: as "Metal Thrashing Mad", "Armed and Dangerous", "Deathrider" and "Gung Ho", which were on Anthrax's first three releases and many subsequent live and greatest hits albums.

DeathRiders have been touring in support of their forthcoming debut album "The Metal Beast" which is slated for release in 2014. The album is currently being recorded at Blue Pacific Studios in Los Angeles. “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. There is no rule that says Thrash vocals have to be one-dimensional. I for one have my own metal thrashing mad style!!!!” - Neil Turbin - Neil Turbin - Vocs Jonas Hornqvist - Gtr Gert Nijboer- Gtr Richard Sword - Bs Erik Lindstrand - Drms Michael Angelo Batio - Gtr Matt Thompson - Drms
