The really fast songs you'll get soon enough! This song is inspired by the one and only [original vocalist] Paul Baloff, our ode to him.

| Monday, July 7, 2008 - Exodus album news | BW&BK has received the following Exodus update:
"For the troops in the trenches, it began in 1982 with a low generation copy of a local band's three-song demo. For some, it began with their first listen to Combat Records' version of Bonded By Blood in 1986. Regardless of the year EXODUS are the undeniable
forefathers of thrash metal.
Exodus gained huge notoriety in the international underground scene as a result of the tape trading community. Their dynamic guitar riffing, adrenaline-inducing drum work, and bloodied live shows made all the difference in the band's mission to take Bay Area Thrash to a worldwide audience.
The immortal, must-have, thrash classic Bonded By Blood was released in 1985 via Torrid Records (then re-released in 1986 on Combat Records), and inspired the likes of Testament, Death Angel, Vio-lence and many others. To this day Bonded By Blood is inspiring a whole new breed of thrash metal.
Gary Holt, songwriter and lead guitarist of Exodus, has released the following statement about the band's decision to revisit this classic album that began an era in music history.
"After many years in the planning and discussion stage, we have finally completed the re-recording of Bonded By Blood. We have decided to call it Let There Be Blood and it is our way of paying homage to [original singer] Paul Baloff by showing how relevant these songs we had written together still are. We aren't trying to replace the original, that's impossible anyway. We are just giving these songs the benefit of modern production. It's something we talked about before Paul's death and it's always been important to us to do. We were super excited about entering the studio once again to record these classics, and now it's back to writing the next studio record!"
Produced by Gary Holt, Let There Be Blood was recorded at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA, JKZ Production Studio in San Rafael, CA with vocal tracks recorded at J. Rod Production Studios in New City, NY. Andy Sneap is currently mixing the finishing product.
The tentative release date for Let There Be Blood is October 2008 through Zaentz Records which has US and European distribution.
Additionally Exodus are embarking on a rigorous European touring schedule this summer. The confirmed dates can be found here.
