EXODUS Frontman Checks In From Europe
April 19, 2008EXODUS vocalist Rob Dukes has issued the following update from the band's current European tour:
"This short tour has been fucking killer a few sold-out shows, and the fact that the fans are singing along to all the new stuff is awesome. I have been having a blast.
"One quick funny story: We were parked in Bielefeld, Germany and while parked up on a day off, a truck driving by slammed into our trailer at 35 mph. It shook the bus and everyone woke up, our driver jumped out his bunk and ran off the bus and he was fucking naked; it was hysterical. Lee [Altus, guitar] and a few of us were up and drinking and just hanging out. Lee spilled his drink on himself and was yelling at the driver who hit our bus that he made him spill his drink. I have it on video, it's fucking funny as hell. The guy who hit us was just beside himself when 15 dudes got off the bus and one of them naked. I made a joke saying I bet he thought it was some weird travelling gay bathhouse a bunch of long-haired dudes and a naked guy. I'm sure it will make it to our DVD, which will probably be out at the end of this year. We got a new trailer and nobody was hurt except Lee, of course, who wants pain and suffering for spilling his drink!
"Two more shows to go...
"I want to thank everyone who has come out and made these shows a lot of fun.
"Kill KIll KIll...Blood Blood Blood!!!"
EXODUS' video for the song "Riot Act" was directed by Jon Schnepp of "Metalocalypse" (on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim) for Schneppzone Inc. The clip, which made its TV debut in December on MTV2's "Headbanger's Ball", can be viewed below.
"Riot Act" comes off the group's new album, "The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A", which sold 3,600 copies in the United States in its first week of release back in October 2007, according to Nielsen SoundScan. The CD was recorded at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, California with producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY).
