EXODUS Utilizing Services Of Drummer NICK BARKER For European Tour

January 16, 2009

British extreme metal drumming legend Nick Barker (CRADLE OF FILTH, TESTAMENT, DIMMU BORGIR, BRUJERIA, ATROCITY) will fill in for EXODUS' Tom Hunting during the San Francisco Bay Area metallers upcoming European tour.

Commented EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt: "On February 18, we're off to Europe for a co-headlining tour with our good old friends in OVERKILL, capped off with our return to Greece (finally!). For this OVERKILL tour, we will be without the services of [drummer] Mr. Tom Hunting, as he had a well-planned-in-advance, paid-for, and non-refundable vacation to México that has been in the works since last April-May. He will take many pictures of paradise for all to see! So while he will be sipping a drink on a sunny beach, we will be in a stinky, beer-and-piss-soaked club. Exactly where I want to be!

"So on this European tour, I would like to welcome our good friend Mr. Nick Barker, who will be holding down the drum throne! Nick is one of the baddest dudes to ever hit things with sticks, so we’re happy as hell he agreed to join this lunatic parade for a short while! There will be many bottles of Old Number [Seagram's] 7 vanishing down our guts for sure!

"Have no fear, Tom will be back — a bit more tanned I'm sure — and then we will be off and running with KREATOR for two months in the U.S. and Canada. See you all soon."
