EXODUS Re-Launch Vocalist Search - Dec. 20, 2004

San Francisco thrashers EXODUS have launched a vocalist search following the group's recent split with longtime singer Steve "Zetro" Souza (SKINLAB frontman Steev Esquivel filled in during the band's recent North American tour with MEGADETH). "We are looking for someone with experience, charisma, and a magnetic stage presence," said the group's manager, Steven Warner. "Vocally, [all applicants] must be able to sing all the Souza/[Paul] Baloff material and bring their own style to the table. Must be able to incorporate different elements into the mix (death metal, thrash and black metal styles). Not looking for saints, but must be clean of any hard drugs.

"Please send a CD, with picture of yourself, and any DVD or VHS tape with live performances, if you have one..."

Send all material to:

EXODUS
6331 Fairmount Ave. Suite #427
El Cerrito, CA 94530
USA

As previously reported, plans exist for EXODUS to release a special 20th anniversary edition of the group's classic 1985 debut, "Bonded by Blood".

Todd Gordon, who earned his rightful place in the annals of thrash metal's history by signing EXODUS to the label he co-founded in 1984 (Torrid Records), had told BLABBERMOUTH.NET, "EXODUS' original label, Torrid, has tapes of the original 'Bonded by Blood' mix without a lot of the '80s effects on Paul Baloff's vocals, as well as some original pre-production demos that are of excellent quality. It is truly amazing to hear. In addition, a second CD of other metal bands doing covers of the album is being looked at."
