Exodus

Description: The epitome of thrash metal. They play a style similar to that of Exciter, Slayer or early metallica only a tad grittier. Original vocalist Paul Baloff passed away in 2002 of a stroke. He was a Thrash Metal icon and will be sorely missed. Notables in this band include Angel Witch drummer Tom Hunting, and the original band for Kirk Hammett before leaving for Metallica shortly after he joined.
