EXODUS are the undeniable forefathers of thrash metal. They gained huge notoriety in the international underground scene as a result of the tape trading community in the early 80 s. The immortal, must-have, thrash classic Bonded By Blood was released in 1985 via Torrid Records and inspired the likes of Testament, Death Angel, Vio-lence as well as many others. To this day Bonded By Blood is inspiring a whole new breed of thrash metal. Founding member and songwriter Gary Holt explains' We have decided to call [the re-recording] Let There Be Blood. We aren't trying to replace the original, that's impossible anyway. We are just giving these songs the benefit of modern production - while featuring the current Exodus lineup, which have brought you instant classics like Shovel Headed Kill Machine and he Atrocity Exhibition. Let There Be Blood was Produced by Gary Holt and mixed by Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Testament, Killswitch Engage) it also features the bonus track Hell s Breathe a never before recorded classic from back in the day...

blooded by 20year+ minus paul bayloff RIP:
this gives justice to the old blooded by blood but another lesson in violence live gives just as much if not more.they should have done this with bayloff but other wise this is a great rerecorded testament to the fury of the original ablum with a couple of new twists for better or worse.rob duke has a fairly simular voice to bayloff better than sousa does but this will aaken a new bread of old school thrash fans,music is still weak today as in 92 but this will prove that old school was king and the new kids... more info
