Guitarist Gary Holt of Bay Area thrash legends Exodus has posted the following message online:

"While anxiously awaiting our return to Europe for the festival run, we have been quietly working on the Bonded By Blood re-recording in our time off.

"Rob (Dukes) is currently doing vocals in New York, Lee (Altus) is doing his solos and I have some touch-ups to do on July 4th.

"Everything sounds crushing! Guitars are brutal, Tom's (Hunting) drumming is sick, Rob sounds heavier than ever. I am totally stoked.

"While working on this, I have been securing the talent for the 25th anniversary version of it, the Paul Baloff tribute. Nine different singers. Can't name names right now, but people have been more than willing to participate.

"Next up is Tidal Wave, then beer and sun in Europe. This sitting-at-home shit sucks; I need to be on the road!"

Exodus are expected to release their new album "The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit B" later this year.

Why are they re-recording the album? Leave it alone. Just focus on writing some decent new material.

Suicidal Tendencies did this same thing with their first album and the new(er) version sounds terribly lame (except 'War inside my Head'). I would much rather listen to the original.

I hope the entire album isn't in that hillbilly banjo style like they did to the song Bonded By Blood at the very end of the last album.

I personally don't think they should re-record it, but who gives a f*** what I think.

Everything I thought was pretty much summed up in the first two posts - including the Pleasure to Kill re-recording! This is especially lame since one of the best things about BBB was Baloff's vocals.

I think Exodus is re-recording it simply for a few more sales.. they don't have to put any effort into writing new material and some of the hardcore fans will probably pick it up just to give it a listen.

Personally, I agree with Terminator.. "if it aint broke, dont f*** it up!"

I love Exodus.. it's a shame to see them selling out like this.

Now playing: Aborted - "Pestiferous Subterfuge"

I think it'd be great. They did a good job with Impailer. Playing the old songs with the new heaver sound. Cool.

Bad idea imo. Classics shouldnt be rerecorded.
