Among the Living is the third studio album by American heavy metal band Anthrax. It was released on March 16, 1987, by Megaforce Records in the US and by Island Records in the rest of the world. The album is dedicated to Cliff Burton of Metallica, who died in a bus accident six months before its release while Metallica were on tour with Anthrax as the opening act.
"I Am the Law" is a tribute to comic book hero Judge Dredd. The song's lyrics reference numerous characters, settings and story elements from Dredd's fictional universe.
Producer and engineer Eddie Kramer explained how he accepted the work with Anthrax: "Their manager, Johnny Z, said to me, ‘I’ve got this band, Anthrax. They like the sounds you get – would you like to work with them?’ That's what started it. We went to Florida and took over a small studio for about a month."
