Back in 1985 I was heavy into underground metal which it was how it was called back then. Being an Anvil fan since 1982 I was already looking for more bands who had that same kind of energy and rawness in their music. 1983 came and I bought Metallica's Kill em All and I remember reading an interview on the band and Kirk mentioning of this other band called Exodus in which he started out.

Almost two years passed until I could finally grab that Exodus album and it became instantly one of my top five metal albums. When Paul left the band for the next record I always thought that the band had lost some it's spontaneous combustion. Nevertheless every album was great but to me it was that first bite that did it for me.

I could have the chance of seeing the band with PAul in New Jersey but it looks like time took it's advantage on me and a lot of us. But one thing it can't take away, my Bonded by Blood album. Rest in Peace Paul!!
