Exodus Vinyl Records
Bay Area thrash heroes who gained fame and influence for their highly aggressive musical and lyrical approach, Exodus emerged in the early 1980s alongside West Coast contemporaries Testament, Possessed, Death Angel, and Metallica -- the latter outfit's long-time six-stringer Kirk Hammett began his career in Exodus. Pioneers of the scene, the band found success with their influential 1985 debut, Bonded in Blood, and their similarly acclaimed 1989 third effort, Fabulous Disaster.
