hot flashes news exodus

The Vinnie Langdon Show interviewed EXODUS and SLAYER guitarist Gary Holt at the Exodus hometown show on December 20th, 2013 at Slims in San Francisco, CA. Gary and Vinnie talk about the upcoming Untitled recording process, as well as New Year's resolutions.

Exodus are confirmed for METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett’s Fear FestEvil, taking place from February 6th - 8th at The Regency Ballroom in San Francisco, CA. Exodus' appearance is scheduled for February 7th.

When it comes to thrash metal, in particular Bay Area thrash, Exodus are one of the true Godfathers. Formed in 1980 by guitarist Tim Agnello, drummer Tom Hunting, bassist Carlton Melson and some other six-stringer called Kirk Hammett, Agnello soon left, allowing Hammett’s guitar tech Gary Holt to step up and in.

Hammett then stumbled across Paul Baloff, a demo was recorded, Hammett left to join some other upstarts, Rick Hunolt took the other guitar, and the rest became history. Their 1984 debut Bonded By Blood is a stonewall genre classic, and with cranium crunching classics such as ‘A Lesson In Violence', 'Strike Of The Beast' and 'Burn, Hollywood, Burn', we can promise that this will not be a calm or gentle soiree more than an aural beatdown.

The current lineup of Holt, Lee Altus on guitar, Hunting, Jack Gibson on bass and Rob Dukes on vocals has been in place since 2007. Exodus’ last album was 2010's Exhibit B: The Human Condition on Nuclear Blast Records, and the band have just started working on new material for a prospective release later in 2014.
