Exodus is one of the oldest bands from the Bay Area thrash metal scene of the 80s. Kirk Hammett famously left the band to join Metallica though Exodus has continued to crank out awesome thrash albums long after Metallica ceased to be a thrash band. Obituary is one of the original bands from the infamous Tampa death metal scene. As if that line up alone wasn’t enough to sell you on this bill there’s more! Two of the best up-and-coming thrash bands around are providing support on this tour. Power Trip from Dallas, Texas, is touring to support their awesome new crossover thrash album Nightmare Logic and you don’t want to miss Dust Bolt, German thrashers who are totally sick shredders. Check out all four bands in the videos below and leave a comment telling me your favorite band from either the San Francisco or Tampa areas!
Exodus – The Toxic Waltz
Obituary – Ten Thousand Ways To Die
Power Trip – Executioner’s Tax (Swing Of The Axe)
Dust Bolt – Soul Erazor

Floridian death metal scene is without a doubt the most influential scene then any other I mean death and obituary is obvious answer but also morbid angel and death angel but it also brought enough notice from cannibal corpse,suffocation,atheist and many more that they even traveled down to Florida and record and play in any venue human possible and make the scene more of a impact then any other
