[edit] Biography

He is most well know for his time in Exodus, for whom he sang between 1986 and 1992 after being brought in to replace Paul Baloff. 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".

Souza is currently managing a metal band called Oskorei (band); Cody Souza (Steve's eldest son) currently plays bass in the band.

In 2006 he and Chuck Billy formed Dublin Death Patrol, an American Thrash Metal band.

Most recently, he discussed another growing topic in the metal underground, the new vocalist of Anthrax. There have been numerous speculations about the new vocalist, ranging from Phil Anselmo of Pantera to Marcel "Schmier" Schirmier of Destruction. Souza was one of the names that came up.

Souza stated; There's been a lot of hype lately about me becoming the new Anthrax vocalist. Honestly I'd be honored to do it. I've known the guys in Anthrax for many years now, and we are good friends. I would really enjoy being the vocalist for Anthrax. However, it cannot be done. There are too many problems right now for, and I need to work them out right now before I can do anything else. If I was to join Anthrax, I would be holding the band back rather than helping them. So me being the new vocalist for Anthrax is a no.^{[citation needed]}
