EXODUS - Premier Guitar Interviews Gary Holt And Lee Altus; Video Available
March 26, 2010, 14 years ago
Gary Holt and Lee Altus, the men behind the relentless dual-guitar thrash attack in San Francisco’s EXODUS, recently sat down with Jordan Wagner of Premier Guitar in Chicago for a Rig Rundown video feature.
Holt discusses his upcoming Schecter signature guitar - an offshoot of the Hellraiser V in black with blood-red binding and “a nice goat head pentagram inlaid on the 12th fret” – the new Exodus album, and the band’s recently released Live At Wacken DVD. Watch Gary Holt’s video feature below.
Altus speaks about his love of ESP Guitars, his guitar preferences for studio work, and the guitar he’d like to have built. Watch Lee Altus’ video feature, also below.
The ninth Exodus studio album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition, is due out in North America on May 18th.
Holt states: “I think it’s leaps and miles ahead of the last one [The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A]... really aggressive and really fast... it’s really angry, really fired-up.”
A demo version of 'Hammer And Life', a new track dedicated to original singer Paul Baloff (R.I.P.), is posted on the band’s MySpace player.
