EXODUS Drummer Talks About Upcoming DVD, Thrash Metal Revival

February 3, 2004

EXODUS drummer Tom Hunting recently spoke to Denmark's Metal Reference about the group's upcoming DVD, tentatively due before the end of the year.

"It's gonna contain everything," he said. "It's gonna be a full chronological history of the band. You know from the early days and some live footage and some footage from the live album recording and all the way up to the sessions for Tempo of the Damned. There is a lot of information to sit through we're getting… People are coming out from nowhere with footage of this band from just years ago, so we got a lot of work to do.

Asked about the revival of Bay Area thrash metal, with new albums from DEATH ANGEL, VIO-LENCE and possibly HEATHEN on the way, Hunting said, "I think if it's gonna come back and do a strong comeback, it can never get a better opportunity than now. I mean, we think it's great that all the bands from home are reforming. I think a lot of that was because of the Chuck Billy benefit and how much fun everybody had and how good it felt. We think it's great, I mean, we're label mates with DEATH ANGEL. DEATH ANGEL are in the studio right now — maybe we can possibly hook up and do some touring some time later since we're on the same label. And we're supportive of it. We love it." Read more.

EXODUS' first studio album since 1992's "Force of Habit", "Tempo of the Damned" was released in Europe on Monday, February 2 (the two-year anniversary of late EXODUS frontman Paul Baloff's passing). It is due in the U.S. on March 9 through Nuclear Blast Records.
