was born in New Orleans, Louisiana, and is of Italian and French heritage.[1] He attended many schools, the last of which was Grace King High School located in the suburb of Metairie.[2] Anselmo's father, Phil, owned and operated a restaurant in Metairie called Anselmo's, which closed in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Anselmo has said in various interviews that he was very quiet and secluded as a child. He spent some time working on fishing boats as a young man. At the age of 14, Anselmo accidentally started a fire in his parent's house while pulling a prank on his sister. The damage resulted in smoke damage to most of the furniture and part of the house needing renovation.[3][4] While a teenager, Anselmo joined the band Samhain (not to be confused with Glenn Danzig's band Samhain). From the early to mid '80s, Anselmo was a member of the band Razor White. While they did have some original material, they played mainly Judas Priest covers.
