Bonded by Blood is the debut album by the California band Exodus, released in 1985. It is considered amongst one of the most influential thrash metal albums[citation needed]. It is also the only studio recording of Exodus to feature Paul Baloff on vocals. The album was remastered and re-issued by Century Media in 1999 in Europe only, with two live tracks from its Combat re-release in 1989, featuring Steve Souza on vocals.
- Interestingly, professional Footballer David Beckham was photographed wearing a t-shirt with the album cover printed on it. It was latter revealed that Beckham was not only not a fan of the band but had never heard of them either. He wore it simply because classic 80's metal bands on t-shirts was in fashion at the time.
