GARY HOLT EXPOSES THE TRUTH BEHIND RE-RECORDING BONDED BY BLOOD 7/26/08

If you’re watching this here, you’re already behind.

The full episode, exclusive 3rd segment, and early interviews are on Locals: https://classicmetalshow.locals.com

Exodus architect Gary Holt isn’t asking for your permission to modernize a classic. While casual “purists” are busy crying in their basements about the sanctity of the 1985 original, Gary is busy crushing skulls with a version of Bonded By Blood that actually sounds like a professional recording.

In this session, Gary dismantles the idea that they are “replacing” the Baloff era, explains why current vocalist Rob Dukes brings a level of violence the original lacked, and why the new generation of thrash bands—Hatchet, Warbringer, Bonded—are essentially students in the Exodus classroom.

VIPs on Locals saw this conversation weeks ago. If you aren’t a member, you’re just getting the leftovers.
