Steve Souza

Had songs like Angel of Death and Raining Blood on it.

in 1987 exodus released pleasures of the flesh it was the second studio album from the bay area thrash band and it was the first one to have vocalist steve zetro souza spent a bunch of weeks on the charts peaked at number 82 on the billboard albums chart and it had songs like brain dead chemi kill and the title track In 1997, Janet Jackson released The Velvet Rope.

This was her sixth studio album and it touched on some pretty deep subjects like depression and whatnot.

A little bit of a darker theme on this album.

But that's the label we wanted to go, because at the time, you know, with S.O.D. and all the bands we read about and knew or Johnny is involved with, that's the label we wanted to be on.

And so, yeah, you know, they had to deal with Zedd, you know, again, so when I... came back i they said okay we got a new singer let me hear the demo send me his demo so i had to go do all the songs again and sent it to him he says oh okay it sounds sounds okay sounds good or maybe he had the same attitude but maria kept kept pushing and pushed and said You've got to check out them.

And she was friends with Debbie Abono, and she managed a lot of the Bay Area bands.

So she was really Bay Area proactive at that time.

Yeah.

Well, m- uh, my brother, younger brother, was Steve Souza, you know, who sings for Exodus, his best friend.

And so when Rampage was playing, you know, we would drive to Oakland as well and watch them play, and just kind of thrash around and bounce off the walls in the back of a 40-foot trailer.

And that's kind of, you know, introduction to live music and being right there playing live music.
