EXODUS: More 'Exhibit B: The Human Condition' Song Commentary Available

May 10, 2010

In the last of four installments revealing the back-stories to the tracks on the upcoming EXODUS album, guitarist / songwriter Gary Holt offers additional commentary on the songs that will appear on "Exhibit B: The Human Condition", set for release in North America on May 18 via Nuclear Blast Records.

"Good Riddance":

"My world view on global warming and the destruction of our planet."

"Devil's Teeth" (North American bonus track):

"Rob [Dukes, vocals] wrote this one about his love of all things concerning the great white shark. We asked Brendon Small [co-creator of 'Metalocalypse', the smash hit animated series on Adult Swim featuring the fictitious metal band DETHKLOK] to do the guitar solo and he did the sickest solo ever!"

"Don't Make No Promises (Your Body Can't Keep)" (Japanese bonus track):

"We had a lot of fun with this one! We have loved the SCORPIONS since day one, and we did our EXODUS best to put our own stamp on this, with Rob adding a little twist to the last verse!"

When asked about his guest guitar work on the North American bonus track, "Devil's Teeth", Small shares: "As a huge EXODUS fan, it's an amazing honor to be asked to play on one of their songs. I may be the luckiest man alive! What else do I need to do at this point? It may be time that I shut myself into a Vegas hotel room, stop shaving, and save my jars of pee, because that's what you do when you've done everything you wanted to do in life..."
