EXODUS rerecord Bonded by BLood

[flayedandskinned]

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' [EXODUS's classic 1985 debut album] 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."



RETARDED.

bah fuck rob dukes. zetro > him and baloff. i'd assume the band realizes that they can't write good material anymore, so they're cashing in on baloff's legacy.

[Fisting The Dead]

Ummm...I pretty much consider "Another Lesson In Violence" to be a rerecording except it was live. Rob Dukes doing vocals on this cannot be good.

This is even more pointless than First Strike Still Deadly

:emot-fail

yeah, and they're going to make sooo much money off of it too.

WEAKSAUCE

this could be good actually. Bondy by Blood is a killer album but the guitars sound way too thin. with more modern production these songs should be heavier than ever!

[wachtourak]

Just listen to Another Lesson In Violence. It's Bonded by Blood live with Baloff (minus metal command, but with impaler and a couple of pleasures of the flesh tracks). The guitars sound heavy as fuck.

This will be a disappointment, I'll prob still download it at least though...

This is even more pointless than the last two exodus records

[ElementGuitar]

It will suck for a couple of reasons. Zetro isn't doing vocals and they will downtune the guitars and it will sound generic.

[Reincremation]

It will suck for a couple of reasons. Baloff isn't doing vocals and it isn't the mid 80s and it isn't the original recording

lol, seriously, the only move they could make gayer than this would be getting kirk back.

Ahem...listen to "Another Lesson in Violence" and that's basically your rerecording with heavier guitars.

I have, I like it a lot. but it's a live recording. I think this one will be better since it's a studio recording.
