EXODUS - "Last Act of Defiance" [Live @ Scion Rock Fest 2012] (Scion AV) video free download

Exodus peformed a killer set at Scion Rock Fest 2012, including this performance of "Last Act of Defiance" live in Tampa, Florida.

One cannot discuss the power and influence of EXODUS without going into the genealogy of metal music itself. Long hailed as the band that spawned the burgeoning Bay Area Thrash scene in the early '80s, the band's most admirable quality is that the word "surrender" has never existed in lead guitarist/songwriter/General-In-Chief Gary Holt's vocabulary. Surviving decampment (original guitarist Kirk Hammett left to join Metallica in 1983), death (original vocalist Paul Baloff died in early 2002), untimely disaster (long-time second vocalist Steve Souza abandoned the band in 2004 on the eve of a South American tour), dejection (original drummer Tom Hunting was incapacitated by panic attacks in May 2005), and drug abuse (guitar comrade-in-arms Rick Hunolt's resignation in June 2005 was due in part to addiction issues), it would have been easier for many to interpret these events as a signal to retire, but then again, not everyone is Gary Holt.
