EXODUS: New DVD To Receive Los Angeles Theatrical Premiere

December 9, 2009

On Friday, January 8 at 8 p.m. at the Steve Allen Theater in Los Angeles, thrash metal fans will have the unique opportunity to attend an exclusive, advanced screening of footage from the first EXODUS DVD, "Shovel Headed Tour Machine: Live At Wacken & Other Assorted Atrocities". Special guests for the evening are the members of EXODUS.

A three-disc package of two DVDs plus a live audio CD, "Shovel Headed Tour Machine: Live At Wacken & Other Assorted Atrocities" is scheduled for North American release on January 12, 2010.

The evening's host, Brendon Small — co-creator of "Metalocalypse", the smash hit animated series on Adult Swim featuring the fictitious metal band DETHKLOK —shares his thoughts on the upcoming event: "It will be an honor to sit with one of the best thrash bands of all time and bother them with half-baked questions and vagaries. But seriously, between now and this event, I hope to write and choreograph a belabored and embarrassing dance routine with [EXODUS singer] Rob Dukes. I am looking forward to it!!!"

Tickets are $10.00 and will include a free Nuclear Blast grab bag plus raffle entry for the following prizes:

* First Prize: An ESP Guitar autographed by EXODUS
* Second Prize: Two tickets to the upcoming EXODUS show on February 9 at House Of Blues, Hollywood
* Third Prize: An autographed promotional copy of "Shovel Headed Tour Machine: Live At Wacken" DVD

Advanced tickets to the premiere can be purchased through the Steve Allen Theater here. Space is limited; early arrival is STRONGLY encouraged.

All fans in attendance will have the opportunity to purchase the "Shovel Headed Tour Machine" DVD for $30.00.

A limited-edition bundle (DVD, exclusive event shirt, patch) that includes a meet-and-greet ticket for January 8 is available via the official EXODUSonline store for $40.00. The DVD, shirt, and patch will be sold together the night of the event for $45.00. Only 144 exclusive event shirts have been printed. Once they're gone, they're gone.

The question-and-answer session for the evening will be videotaped and posted online. Fans who cannot attend the event are encouraged to submit their questions for the band via their MySpace page.
