Biography
Zetro is most well known for his time in Exodus, for whom he sang between 1986 and 1992 after being brought in to replace
Paul Baloff. Before singing for Exodus, he was the lead singer for the band Legacy (which became
Testament after his departure), recording one demo. At the time of his departure of Legacy, he introduced
Chuck Billy to Legacy members and joined Exodus. Exodus was disbanded shortly after the release of
Force Of Habit. He later rejoined the reformed Exodus for 2004's
Tempo of the Damned, again replacing Baloff (but this time under more tragic circumstances), but abruptly quit during the South American tour.
He recently hosted the Thrash Against Cancer benefit at The Pound in
San Francisco, and appeared onstage with Testament at a gig in
Concord, California.
His voice is reminiscent of AC/DC's former vocalist Bon Scott, and can be heard on the AC/DC covers that Exodus recorded during the 80's, "Overdose" and "Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap".
In 2006 he and Chuck Billy formed Dublin Death Patrol, an American Thrash Metal band.
As of July 2008, Zetro Souza is now the lead singer for the metal band TENET along with members Byron Stroud (Strapping Young Lad, Fear Factory, Zimmer's Hole) Jed Simon (Strapping Young Lad, Zimmer's Hole) Glen Alvelais (Testament, Forbidden) and Gene Hoglan (Unearth, Dethklok, Strapping Young Lad, Dark Angel, Testament, Zimmer's Hole, Old Man's Child).
