In 2001, Exodus reformed again, initially to play the Chuck Billy benefit, the "Thrash of the Titans" mega concert. Exodus disintegrated again, partly due to a falling out with record label Century Media over the way the live album was promoted, and over an aborted attempt at a live concert video which was filmed but never released due to a financial dispute. Unable to match the commercial success of some of their peers and dealing with internal stresses and problems, Exodus split in 1994.Īfter a few dormant years, Exodus released only another live album in 1997 titled "Another Lesson in Violence" and featuring the return of vocalist Paul Baloff and new bassist Jack Gibson. This album was a departure for the band, containing several slower, "heavier" songs with less emphasis on the speed/thrash basis of their older material. In 1991 the band released their first live effort, "Good Friendly Violent Fun", which featured new bassist Mike Butler.Īfter the release of "Good Friendly Violent Fun", the band toured sporadically for a year and released another studio album, "Force of Habit". That same year, Tom Hunting departed, leaving the group with no founding members. In 1989, the band released "Fabulous Disaster" which garnered good press and, eventually, a major label deal. Baloff later went on to form the band Piranha (9). Shortly before the recording of "Pleasures of the Flesh" in 1987, Paul Baloff was replaced by Steve "Zetro" Souza, who had previously been the lead vocalist for the San Francisco band Legacy (later known as Testament). This line-up recorded and released their debut album, "Bonded by Blood" in 1984 (released in 1985).
In 1983, founding member Kirk Hammett left Exodus to join Metallica and was replaced by guitarist Rick Hunolt and Rob McKillop replaced Andrews on bass. This lineup recorded the band's 1982 demo. In 1982, Exodus included Kirk Hammett and Gary Holt on guitars, Paul Baloff on lead vocals, Geoff Andrews on bass and drummer Tom Hunting. The line up shifted several times in the early years. The group was rounded out by guitarist Tim Agnello and bassist Carlton Melson. Thrash Metal (Heavy Metal) band formed in 1979 in San Francisco, CA.įormed by guitarist Kirk Hammett & drummer Tom Hunting (who initially handled vocals as well).
