Pleasures of the Flesh is the second album by American thrash metal band Exodus, released in 1987. This is the first Exodus album to feature Steve Souza on vocals.


The album was to originally feature cover art with an illustration of the band depicted as cannibals preparing and eating their meal. However the cover was replaced with a photo of the band members leaning on a bar prior to release. The original cover was promoted by the record company in music magazines just prior to its release with the headline of "Metal's Heaviest Meal".

Despite their crucial involvement in the development of thrash metal, by 1987 San Francisco's Exodus were playing a desperate game of catch-up. Upstarts Metallica had first stolen their thunder, then their guitarist; and after a yearlong delay that rendered their seminal debut, Bonded by Blood, rather archaic, the group experienced a tumultuous lineup change with the departure of founding vocalist Paul Baloff and the arrival of ex-Testament singer Steve Souza. By and large, the throat-shredding vocal styles of both frontmen were pretty much interchangeable, but the difference in songwriting quality between the aforementioned Bonded by Blood and its dismal successor, Pleasures of the Flesh, was quite astounding. Truth is, except for the rather memorable title track, the record simply fails to deliver the goods, seeming almost like an evolutionary step backward...
