EXODUS · Tempo Of The Damned | CD

Jewelcase CD.

Background information about ''

After a decade-long hiatus, Exodus roared back to life with "Tempo Of The Damned", marking the legendary Bay Area thrash titans' triumphant return to the scene that helped birth the entire genre. This crushing comeback album sees the band firing on all cylinders, delivering ten tracks of pure thrash metal fury that reminded everyone why they're considered pioneers alongside Metallica, Slayer, and Megadeth. The album opens with the politically charged "Scar Spangled Banner", immediately establishing that Exodus hadn't lost an ounce of their bite during their extended absence.

What makes "Tempo Of The Damned" so special is how it perfectly balances the band's classic sound with a more modern production approach. Tracks like "War Is My Shepherd" and "Blacklist" showcase the group's ability to craft memorable hooks while maintaining their signature aggression, while the epic seven-minute "Forward March" demonstrates their compositional maturity. The rhythm section pounds relentlessly throughout, providing the perfect foundation for the guitar work that ranges from surgical precision to all-out chaos. This isn't just a nostalgia trip - it's a statement that Exodus still had plenty to say and the chops to say it with maximum impact.

For fans of: Testament, Overkill, Kreator, and early Metallica
