Exodus

Exodus is a legendary thrash metal band formed in 1979 in San Francisco, CA. Originally founded by guitarist Kirk Hammett and drummer Tom Hunting, the group has undergone several lineup changes over the years. In 1982, Exodus included *Kirk Hammett* and Gary Holt on guitars, Paul Baloff on lead vocals, Geoff Andrews on bass, and Tom Hunting on drums. This lineup recorded the band's 1982 demo.

In 1983, founding member Kirk Hammett left Exodus to join Metallica and was replaced by guitarist Rick Hunolt. Rob McKillop also joined as the new bassist. This line-up recorded and released their debut album "Bonded by Blood" in 1984 (released in 1985).

Throughout their career, Exodus has experienced various changes in members but has consistently delivered intense thrash metal music that showcases their technical prowess and aggressive sound. With a discography spanning decades, including albums like "Fabulous Disaster" and "Tempo of the Damned," Exodus continues to be a force to be reckoned with in the heavy metal scene.
