Exhorder – (Cadence Of) The Dirge

Biography
New Orleans, United States (1985 – 1992, 2008 – present)
Exhorder was formed in 1985 in New Orleans, Louisiana. After releasing several demos in the vein of pure thrash metal, they started to adapt more of a groove metal-oriented sound with their debut studio album, Slaughter in the Vatican, released in 1990. This sound was further developed by their second (and to date last) album, The Law, released in 1992. The band dissolved later that year.
Exhorder are often credited with having created the groove-oriented thrash metal sound that was copied and popularized by Pantera. The band is either more or less indifferent to such sentiment as they were friends with Pantera and were saddened by the passing of Dimebag Darrell. However, they do not deny the possibility of them having influenced Pantera’s sound even though Kyle Thomas has stated Pantera deserves the praise they receive as he feels Pantera have always worked much harder than Exhorder ever did at being successful.

Criminally underrated. V Pantera drew heavy influences from exhorder around the '90 Cowboys From Hell Album. Phil Anselmo heard the Slaughter In The Vatican demos before they started writing Cowboys and he presented them to the band. This is how it was, though Pantera simplified exhorder's style and slowed things down on huge part of CFH. Yes, Pantera existed before Exhorder but at first they played in the style of 'Turbo' era Judas Priest at best. The change in sound came later.

They had perfect mix of thrash and groove metal in their music. And their lyrics were smarter then pantera lyrics. But people prefered 'metal 4 kids'.
