EXODUS

Release Year: 2022
Artist Origin: USA
Style: bitter intricate thrash heavy metal

like some other early nineties' albums by thrash metal giants, where they went a bit more rocking and mainstream way, fifth longplay [1992] of Exodus is fairly underrated and quite ambitious at the same time: slower and more elaborated songs with downtuned guitar sound have formed completely different paradigm of typically bitter and emotionally high-tempered sonicscape; nobody could blame Gary and Rick in lack of solos, while Steve does a good job to vary his poignant vocal style - last but not least, tracks like Feeding Time at the Zoo are a proof enough that this band was far behind its final demise, eventually reformed in 1997; recent Japanese edition comes with two additional songs, Crawl Before You Walk and Telepathic, extra booklet written in Nihongo, and OBI strip
