2014, With a career spanning 34 years, Exodus have not only helped shape and define the thrash metal genre for over three decades, but continually seek to raise its standards. One of the forefathers of the Bay Area scene that became known and envied throughout the world, the band's 1985 debut album, BONDED BY BLOOD, has since become a legacy 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 returning frontman Steve ´Zetro` Souza on vocals, Gary Holt and Lee Altus on guitars, Tom Hunting on drums, and Jack Gibson on bass.
