SONIC HIGHLIGHTS

Recorded during the formative years of the Bay Area thrash movement, Bonded By Blood captures Exodus at their rawest, fastest and most ferocious. The album combines razor-sharp riffing, chaotic energy and relentless speed with the unhinged vocal performance of original frontman Paul Baloff, whose presence helped establish the blueprint for extreme metal vocal aggression.

Often mentioned alongside genre-defining classics from Metallica, Slayer and Megadeth, Bonded By Blood remains one of the most celebrated thrash metal albums ever recorded. Tracks such as Bonded By Blood, A Lesson In Violence, Strike Of The Beast and And Then There Were None have become permanent fixtures of thrash metal history and continue to influence countless bands across thrash, death metal and extreme metal.

Historically significant as the only Exodus studio album to feature Paul Baloff on lead vocals, this release documents a crucial moment in the evolution of American heavy metal and the emergence of the Bay Area thrash scene that would change metal forever.

It is highly recommended if you like Slayer, Testament, Overkill, Death Angel, Dark Angel, Kreator, Anthrax, Vio-Lence and classic Bay Area thrash metal.
