Tom Hunting bergabung dengan EXODUS lagi
EXODUS Rejoined By Drummer TOM HUNTING - Mar. 13, 2007
EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt has issued the following update:
"I'd like to take a moment here and welcome back Tom Hunting toEXODUS' drum throne. It was always understood that when and if Tom wasever ready to resume his drumming duties for the band, his seat wouldbe waiting. Paul [Bostaph] always knew this, and was the first to sayit upon joining the band. Paul and Tom have always been good friendsand we, as a band, cannot thank Paul enough for his services on'Shovel Headed Kill Machine' and all the subsequent tours he did tosupport that album. We had a great time and kicked many asses alongthe way. Paul has given this reunion his whole-hearted endorsementwith no mixed blessings and is happy to see Tom back in the fold. Now,some band out there may just become the luckiest bunch of suckers inthe world, because one hell of a drum is on the market! We wish Paulall the best, and he will always be a member of the extended EXODUSfamily.
"That having been said, we are so excited to have Tom back in the bandhe co-founded. He, other than the time spent out of the band, is theonly drummer I've ever played with, and he and I have an unspokenlanguage of metal that I am stoked to continue. We are hard at work onthe new songs, and this shit is the best and heaviest music we've everwritten. I've kept quiet until now — because everyone always bragsabout how great their new shit is — but this is no boast. This albumwill redefine thrash metal as we know it. We will be hitting thestudio mid-May with Mr. Andy Sneap. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED."
Gary Holt recently announced plans to release his first instructionalDVD. "I am planning on focusing on rhythm technique, some lead chops,and going over the correct way to play some of the EXODUS riffs," Garypreviously said. "I feel there are enough straight shred things outthere, so I want to do something as bit differrent. And of course Iwill make it funny as hell!"
