Paul Baloff

Paul Baloff (April 25, 1960–February 2, 2002) was an American singer, most notable for his time in thrash metal band Exodus.

Paul was a friend of guitarist Kirk Hammett (one of the founding members of Exodus) and was asked to join the band at a party in 1983. Kirk Hammett played on their "1982 Demo" and then left the band to join Metallica. "Exodus" released their first official album Bonded by Blood in 1985. After the release, they started the pre-production for their second album. Following the recording of a three song demo in 1986, Paul Baloff was fired from Exodus, the band citing accusations of substance abuse.Fact|date=October 2008

After being fired from Exodus in 1986, he sang in several bands in the San Francisco Bay area, such as Heathen, Hirax and Piranha.

In 1997, when Exodus decided to reunite, Baloff was again invited to sing with the band.

In 2002 Paul Baloff suffered a stroke which left him in a coma and was taken off life support at his family's wishes.
