Gary Holt comments on new Exodus album

In the last of four installments, guitarist / songwriter Gary Holt offers his final commentary on the back-stories to the tracks recorded for the upcoming EXODUS album. Exhibit B: The Human Condition is set for release in Europe on May 7th and in North America on May 18th.

'Good Riddance' - "My world view on global warming and the destruction of our planet.”
(North American Bonus Track) ‘Devil's Teeth' - "Rob wrote this one about his love of all things concerning the Great White shark. We asked Brendan Small to do the guitar solo and he did the sickest solo ever!”
(Japanese Bonus Track) ‘Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep) - "We had a lot of fun with this one! We have loved The Scorpions since day one, and we did our EXODUS best to put our own stamp on this, with Rob [Dukes] adding a little twist to the last verse!”

When asked about his guest guitar work on the North American bonus track "Devil's Teeth,” co-creator of Metalocalypse Brendon Small shares: "As a huge EXODUS fan, it's an amazing honor to be asked to play on one of their songs. I may be the luckiest man alive! What else do I need to do at this point? It may be time that I shut myself into a Vegas hotel room, stop shaving, and save my jars of pee, because that's what you do when you've done everything you wanted to do in life...”

Exhibit B: The Human Condition was recorded this past December in Northern California with producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Kreator). EXODUS will play album release shows in Chico, Los Angeles, and San Francisco, California before heading out to Europe to play the festival circuit:


· Thursday, June 20th - Chico @ The Senator Theater with Laaz Rockit, Anvil Chorus, plus two local openers (tickets on sale now)
