Exodus’ live performance is sure to deliver metal fans into the promise land of thrash metal euphoria. Although Exodus never quite received the recognition that the bands in the Big Four (Anthrax, Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth) garnered, they are none the less one of the most significant bands in the thrash metal scene.
Exodus is known for their overpowering live performances. They have stacks of Marshall amps on stage blaring rapid speed guitar riffs, and power chords. Tom Hunting brutally pounds away on his drums, never holding back on the double bass that has a sound with a volume that hits you right in the gut. Gary Holt and Lee Altus have great dynamics with their guitar playing. They often play atonal guitar scales in unison to create an edgy sound. Lead singer, Steve Souza, sings his vocals like a roaring lion delivering a fierce growl. He prowls around stage and bellows his intense vocals into the audience and incites them to act crazy.
The band is usually dressed in all black, and the guitarists have wild, long hair that they fling around stage when headbanging. Smoke fills the stage creating an ominous tone for the heavy metal music Exodus so keenly produces. Their audience is always wild, starting up mosh pits and raising their hands up to salute the band with their devil horns. Exodus is critically acclaimed for their music and they have sold over 25 million albums. They are also well respected by fellow metal bands and have strong connections to other California rockers such as Metallica and Slayer. In fact, Kirk Hammett from Metallica was once Exodus’ guitarist.
Exodus is sure to put on a brutal performance never to be forgotten, cranking out their vast catalog of hits ranging from “Deathamphetamine” to “Blacklist”. If you see them on their upcoming tour with Slayer, you most likely will hear them play some heavy tunes from their new album, Blood In, Blood Out.
