About

Exhorder is an American heavy metal band from New Orleans, Louisiana. The band currently consists of vocalist and rhythm guitarist Kyle Thomas, bassist Jason VieBrooks, lead guitarist Pat O'Brien and touring drummer Corey Pierce.

Considered a progenitor of the groove-oriented thrash popularized by bands such as Pantera and Machine Head, their music is viewed as an influence on the New Orleans metal scene.
Active from 1985 to 1994 and 2008 to 2011, Exhorder reformed in 2017. To date, the band has released four studio albums: Slaughter in the Vatican (1990), The Law (1992), Mourn the Southern Skies (2019) and Defectum Omnium (2024).
