EXODUS
Exodus is an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in Richmond, California. Spanning a career of 38 years, Exodus has released ten studio albums, two live albums and two compilations. They are often credited as one of the pioneers of the Bay Area thrash metal scene, and have sold over five million albums worldwide as of 2013. Exodus had particular success in the mid-to-late 1980s with their first three studio albums: Bonded by Blood, Pleasures of the Flesh and Fabulous Disaster. (More from Wikipedia)
While few of these bands have anything religious on their albums, one example where that is the case is the English progressive rock band Genesis, who had considered calling themselves Gabriel’s Angels after lead singer Peter Gabriel. The other well known member of the band is Phil Collins.
The band’s debut album in 1969, From Genesis to Revelation – the beginning and ending books in the Bible – has a series of songs that are loosely based on religious themes.
There is also a thrash metal band called Exodus that formed in 1980 which I am not familiar with.
