Paul Bostaph
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Paul Bostaph (born March 6, 1964 in San Francisco, California) is a rock musician, who has played drums for bands such as Forbidden (originally known as Forbidden Evil), Slayer, and Testament. He is from Newark, California. Currently he is playing with Exodus.
After Dave Lombardo left the band Slayer in 1992, Paul Bostaph joined up, leaving his former band Forbidden. He completed short West Coast and European tours with Slayer, including the Castle Donnington Festival. These tour dates completed the tour cycles for the Seasons of the Abyss CD. The band took the rest of 1992 off after recording the song, Disorder with rapper Ice-T for the movie Judgement Night. During this down time Paul toured with Testament in the US for approx. 2 months. He then left the band in 1996 to concentrate on his solo project, "Truth About Seafood", a side-project from his years in the band Forbidden, then rejoined Slayer in January of 1997, but in 2001 left the band (because of the return of Dave Lombardo to Slayer) and later joined the band Exodus in 2005. Though not currently an official member, Bostaph has been touring with Testament during their 2006 reunion tour.
