The Atrocity Exhibition - Exhibit A

Short and simple. Exodus made the impossible possible: To record the best album of their long running career. What? "Bonded By Blood"? Yeah, sure. It´s a classic. But in some years The Atrocity Exhibition (Exhibit A) will have the same status. After a few spins of this new Exodus output it´s just so obvious. Listen to the riffs, the drums, the bass, the songs, the sound itself. The Atrocity Exhibition (Exhibit A) is THE Thrash album since… yeah, well…since what?   

Tom Hunting, Kirk Hammett and Gary Holt founded EXODUS in 1982, shortly after selecting an appropriate singer the band, Paul Baloff, who completed the line up perfectly and bringing the dream to fruition.  Within the following year Exodus gained huge attention in the international underground scene, evolving from an insiders' tip of the tape trading community to a highly popular act.  Innovative song writing and explosive live shows made the difference, Exodus brought Bay Area Thrash to the world and inspired many bands, among them Metallica, Testament, Death Angel and Violence (respectively Machine Head).  In 1983 Kirk Hammet left the band to join Metallica, and was replaced by Rick Hunolt, and soon after Rob McKillop complimented mix. 

The debut Bonded By Blood was released two years later and became a timeless thrash classic still appreciated today.  Now it's time for The Atrocity Exhibition (Exhibit A) and this record will maim some heads. Period.
