Exodus is a Reggae act. Their sound grew out of Kreator, Death Angel, Brendon Small, Sodom and Carcass. Those roots explain a lot about how Exodus arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Kreator, Overkill, Testament, Death Angel and Nuclear Assault, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Kamelot, Evile, Havok, Nuclear Assault and Testament, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 77 connections around Exodus, reaching back through Kreator and forward to Kamelot. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
Background
Exodus is an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in Richmond, California. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Gary Holt and Lee Altus, bassist Jack Gibson, drummer Tom Hunting and lead vocalist Rob Dukes. Notable former members of the band include vocalists Paul Baloff and Steve "Zetro" Souza, drummers John Tempesta and Paul Bostaph, and founding guitarist Kirk Hammett who later joined fellow Bay Area thrash metal band Metallica. There are no original members left in Exodus other than Hunting, who had departed from the band twice, in 1989 and 2004, but rejoined in 2007. Holt, who has been in the band since 1981, is the only member to appear on every Exodus album. Much of the band's career has been affected by lineup changes, feuds between both band members and record companies, two extended hiatuses, deaths of former band members, and drug addictions.
