Exodus - Bonded by Blood - Music For All Nations Records MFN 44 LP 1985


-


All the records from my collection are collector-owned, and were purchased thirty-plus years ago.  Apart from being opened and played once so I could record onto a cassette tape for ease of listening on my Walkman or boom box, all records have simply been sitting on a shelf until this day.


Please review all photos carefully as what you see is what you will receive, including inner sleeves, lyrics sheets, order forms, etc.  Note that my records have not been cleaned ultrasonically, and any vinyl that has been sitting for an extended period of time in a paper or cardboard sleeve will naturally collect some amount of fiber or dust.  As a result, please clean all purchases prior to playing.  


Finally, although not photographed with a protective sleeve, all records will be shipped via USPS with at least a 2 mil thick archival quality outer sleeve, as well as cardboard record padding for protection.  


If you have any question, please do not hesitate to reach out to me.


Thank you!

Metal Forces Magazine’s 10/10 review from 1995 included the following comments: 


“Well, the debut album that has probably been even more eagerly awaited by the hardcore thrashers than [Metallica’s] Kill ‘Em All, is finally about to see the light of day.  Exodus have already accumulated a vast underground following through a now nearly four-year-old demo and numerous live tapes that have circulated around the scene, and this release will no doubt enhance their position as the new “Underground Kings Of Thrash” now that Metallica have progressed into the big league.


I’m not going to waste time and space comparing Exodus with Metallica, because I honestly don’t think that’s important. The San Francisco Bay Area band have been around long enough to have developed their own identity with their particular form of technically controlled thrash.  And comments that are sure to arise, pronouncing Exodus as a “Metallica rip-off”, will be totally unjustified.


Anyway, onto the contents which are nothing short of brilliant. Every track is just what your hardcore maniac metal doctor ordered – total thrash. There’s no let up from the word go, as ‘Bonded By Blood’ comes crashing through the speakers. The energy that Exodus produce is so intense it must be frightening to your average heavy metal fan…


So there you have it, a classic album in the thrash metal sense which is sure to be sneered at by the unconverted and mainstream media. But who gives a f***? I’m sure Exodus won’t!”
