I've never had the privilege of seeing them live but have their 5 CDs
as mention earlier. Really good stuff all....

Good list there. Plenty of 2010 albums I need to check out. Did you like Exodus album from that year?

 

[DaKillerWolf]

Haven't heard it yet TBH. Heard that it's really good though. I'm kind of an old Exodus fan, having trouble accepting all the line-up changes I guess.

I think it was a pretty decent album, it is a pretty lengthy album but full of good heavy metal tracks. Musically it sounds very focused. I prefer older Exodus too but as far as modern albums go I enjoyed Exhibit B The Human Condition.

I'm listening to the link you posted now. Sounds pretty good. I do like old Exodus better as they had a unique sound that I really enjoined but this sounds like something I should look into. Sounds a little like Warbringer to me in some ways.

Quite a few of Kirks riffs he used in early Metallica albums remind me a lot of Exodus, apparently he had taken some of the riffs he wrote for Exodus and put them in Metallica songs.
