EXODUS update:

Guitarist Gary Holt of the veteran San Francisco Bay Area thrashers EXODUS has issued the following update:

"While anxiously awaiting our return to Europe for the festival run, we have been quietly working on the 'Bonded By Blood' re-recording in our time off. Rob [Dukes, vocals] is currently doing vocals in New York, Lee [Altus, guitar] is doing his solos and I have some touch-ups to do on July 4th. Everything sounds crushing! Guitars are brutal, Tom's [Hunting] drumming is sick, Rob sounds heavier than ever. I am totally stoked. While working on this, I have been securing the talent for the 25th anniversary version of it, the Paul Baloff trubute. Nine different singers. Can't name names right now, but people have been more than willing to participate.

"Next up is Tidal Wave [festival in San Francisco], then beer and sun in Europe. This sitting-at-home shit sucks; I need to be on the road!"

EXODUS recently extended its recording agreement with Nuclear Blast Records, whom Holt called "the greatest label in metal."

The band's brand new album, "The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit B", is due out later this year.

"'Bonded By Blood' re-recording"

What's the use and purpose?? Really... To do it 'worse' ?

With all these retro thrash bands around these days......I'd say it's to fit in with them. :sarcastic:

Destruction did it, Sodom too, so they're just doing the in thing at the moment. Maybe in 10 years time we'll get a re-recording of the re-recording? Or maybe no new records, only the re-recorded old ones?

What's a 'total stoke'? Maybe he has pet stoats? Or lives in Stoke?
