1) an American thrash … Read Full Bio ↴There is more than one artist with this name:
1) an American thrash metal band formed in 1979 in Richmond, California. Their current lineup consists of guitarists Gary Holt and Lee Altus, bassist Jack Gibson, drummer Tom Hunting, and lead vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza. There are no original members left in Exodus other than Hunting, who has departed from the band twice, in 1989 and 2004, but rejoined in 2007. Exodus is also notable for its inclusion of guitarist Kirk Hammett in its initial lineup; he eventually left the band in 1983 to join Metallica as Dave Mustaine's replacement. Holt, who replaced original guitarist Tim Agnello in 1981, has been most consistent member throughout various lineup changes and break-ups, and is the only member to appear on all of Exodus' recordings. Much of the band's career has also been affected by bitter feuds between both band members and record companies, two extended hiatuses, deaths of former band members and internal problems often relating to drugs.
Since its formation, Exodus has released eleven studio albums, two live albums, one compilation album, and a re-recording of their first album. Along with Metallica, they are often credited as pioneers of the Bay Area thrash metal scene, and have been referred to as one of the region's so-called "big six" alongside Testament, Death Angel, Lååz Rockit, Forbidden and Vio-lence. Exodus have sold over five million albums worldwide, and they are also considered to be one of the "big eight" of thrash metal, along with Metallica, Megadeth, Slayer, Anthrax, Testament, Overkill and Death Angel. The band had particular success in the mid-to-late 1980s with their first three studio albums: Bonded by Blood (1985), Pleasures of the Flesh (1987) and Fabulous Disaster (1989). The critical praise given to Fabulous Disaster garnered attention from major labels, including Capitol Records, with whom Exodus signed in 1989 and released two albums for the label: Impact Is Imminent (1990) and Force of Habit (1992). After a break up in 1993 and a short-lived reunion in 1997–1998, Exodus reunited once again in 2001, and since then, they have released six more studio albums, starting with and including Tempo of the Damned (2004), which reignited Exodus' popularity and is considered to be a key part in the early-to-mid-2000s thrash metal revival movement. The band's eleventh and latest studio album, Persona Non Grata, was released on November 19, 2021.

War Is My Shepherd
Exodus Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I put mine in artillery
My M-16, my lord and savior
Christ never done me a motherfucking favor
[Chorus]
Pay for all of those in pain
For those who died in vain
Still we march off to
War
War
War
War is my shepherd
Hate it if we can't comprehend it
Kill it if we don't understand it
Pray to god and your fate is sealed
As you die alone in the killing fields
[Chorus]
Farwell, Graham and Farahkahn
They need god, I need napalm
Praise the lord and pass the ammunition
My sermon is my demolition
War
War is
War is my
War is my shepherd
The lyrics in the song War Is My Shepherd by Exodus addresses the notion of religion as a solution to the troubles of the world. The song takes a controversial stand on the idea of faith in Christianity to solve one's problems or difficulties. The song draws a clear distinction between the use of military might and the teachings of Christianity. The lyrics suggest that individuals place their trust in one or the other. The lyrics highlight the idea that the singer has more faith in their military weapon than the Christian lord and savior, Jesus Christ.
The chorus "War, War, War, War is my shepherd," suggests that war has become a guiding force in the singer's life, the foundational principle of who they are. The song further explores the extent individuals go to understand what they can't comprehend - through violence and war. The songwriters also suggest that religion offers no benefits, calling Christ out for never doing anything useful or beneficial for the singer. The chorus reflects on how war divides people with scars and pain, but that society still marches off into it blindly.
