Exodus - Tempo of the Damned (CD) - CD

Details: With a career spanning 40+ years, Exodus has not only helped shape and define the thrash metal genre for over three decades. One of the forefathers of the Bay Area scene, the band's 1985 debut album, Bonded By Blood, has since become a legendary album featuring mandatory live staples such as "Strike Of The Beast", "A Lesson In Violence", and the album's title track. Formed in 1980, the band's original members included Tom Hunting on drums, Kirk Hammett (Metallica) & Tim Agnello on guitars and Carlton Melson on bass. With a line-up that has evolved throughout the years, the current incarnation of Exodus charges into the future with frontman Steve "Zetro" Souza on vocals, Gary Holt and Lee Altus on guitars, Tom Hunting on drums, and Jack Gibson on bass. Produced by Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Megadeth, etc), "Tempo of the Damned" was the band's first full length release since the 1992 album "Force of Habit". The 2024 release will celebrate the album's 20th anniversary.
