Asked if he was planning to perform any of the songs from theRob Dukesera ofEXODUS,SouzatoldMetal Insider: "I'm going to, yes, definitely. Why wouldn't we? The songs are great. I didn't want to shun that at all. It was a big part of their history as well; it was nine years and three records. You can't just turn away that. Why would I? No way, I welcomed it on. I wanted to sing some of those songs. They're great songs."
EXODUSwill release their new album,"Blood In, Blood Out", on October 14 viaNuclear Blast. The album art was illustrated by Swedish artistPär Olofsson, known worldwide for his incredible renderings that have graced the covers of countless heavy metal albums, includingEXODUS'"Let There Be Blood".
The concept for the art was impressively envisaged byOlofssonbased on the album title alone, as guitaristGary Holtexplains: "The concept came fromPär Olofsson. I fed him the title and he immediately came up with the final concept, and it's perfect! One of my favorite covers we've ever done and it fits the title and theme to a T!"
"Blood In, Blood Out"will feature a guest appearance byMETALLICAguitaristKirk Hammetton the song"Salt In The Wound". "It felt really casual, really cool - just like it did back in 1980 when we were all just hanging out back in the day,"HammetttoldRollingStone.com. "Me, recording a solo on their album was a huge thing for me. Other than theEXODUSdemo that's been heard by a lot of people, it's the only time I ever recorded withEXODUS. It was a huge thing for me."
He added: "I play a pretty cool solo, and thenGarycomes in and plays another solo, and you know what? I listened to that and thought, 'Wow, it's 1982 all over again and here we are,Garyand I are trying to cut each other's heads off with our guitar solos.' Nothing has changed much in the last 30 years. I love it. I love those guys. I've only known them for most of my life, so I'm really happy that I finally got to record with them."
Hammettwas a member ofEXODUS' original lineup before replacingDave MustaineinMETALLICAin 1983. In fact,Hammettwas not only the person who came up with theEXODUSname, but also the first from the band to meet originalEXODUSsingerPaul Baloffand brought him into the group.
DukesjoinedEXODUSin January 2005 and appeared on four of the band's studio albums -"Shovel Headed Kill Machine"(2005),"The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A"(2007),"Let There Be Blood"(2008, a re-recording ofEXODUS' classic 1985 LP,"Bonded By Blood") and"Exhibit B: The Human Condition"(2010).
