Exodus rage, thrash, and destroy greater than any band except for maybe Slayer and even then they kind of do so in enough of a different way that it's kind of hard to definitively say which one do so the best when both are firing on all cylinders. Slayer just didn't have the singer issues that Exodus did (Zetro was almost NEVER the vocalist Exodus needed except for parts of Fabulous Disaster and the first four or five songs from Tempo of the Damned) and generally never went down the MTV thrash route that partially castrated Exodus in the late 80s/early 90s (I don't know if South of Heaven qualifies as MTV thrash but good songs or not it's weak and I don't care what anyone says).
But when Exodus are doing what they need to do they are Slayer's equal and can in fact be the best metal band on the planet. Like here.
