Incredibly, Exodus have but get carried away even to a CD release. When 2 years ago singer Paul Baloff had gone from us hardly anyone expected the former Metal veteran of the Bay Area. Well, precisely on 2nd anniversary of the death of Paul (2.2.) Shall be a thrash metal thunderstorms before unparalleled. "Tempo Of The Damned" is the 6th studio album around the "H-Team", the first in 10 years. What has changed is not too much to happiness. Driving drums, killer riffs and the aggressive vocals of Steve "Zetro" Souza popping just so out of the speakers, I dare even to assert herewith to keep one of the best old-school thrash metal output in recent years in his hands. Let's go quickly with the same "Scar Spangled Banner", followed by the already available as a tour single "War Is My Sheppard". Wonderfully, as if time in the so brilliant bands like Metallica, Testament or Death Angel forth Gege addressed are stopped. Actually all know track to please, every now and then gas is given, usually you grooving but neatly into or animated with midtempo riffs for collective hair shaking. Even solo technically the "H-Team" Gary Holt & Rick Hunolt has forgotten nothing. Not to mention one of the best productions ever made in the genre! The bangs! Conclusion: Except for the wiederreformierten DeathAngel the only true survivors of the Bay Area scene of the 80s. If you like this time and their music can here do nothing wrong with buying. I also recommend the so-called Nu-Metallers here a ear to risk, because what eg Slipknot, Korn, etc. would be complete without the '80s thrash metal movement.
