EXODUS - Pleasures of the flesh CD

The 2nd classic EXODUS album - originally released in 1987!

With the highly successful Bonded By Blood, Exodus was hailed as an essential Thrash metal band. However, after the album, vocalist Paul Baloff would depart from the band. That didn't stop them though, and they replaced Baloff with Steve "Zetro" Souza, singer of fellow bay area Thrash band Legacy (who would change their name to Testament). This was a great move as Zetro's voice is insane, evil, and very unique.

The other members of the band make the music amazing along with Zetro's vocals. Guitarists Rick Hunolt and Gary Holt are a great team, switching off leads and solos and shredding like crazy. The riffs are just as killer as the solos. Bassist Rob McKillop does a great job as a bass player, giving the riffs and guitars that amazing extra kick. Drummer Tom Hunting is amazing, almost up there with Slayer drummer Dave Lombardo. His double bass and tom fills all kick ass on this album.
