Bay Area thrash metal progenitors EXODUS have just announced a series of special, upcoming live in-studio web streams throughout the month of December for the recording process of the upcoming album, "The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit B".

In collaboration with Ustream.tv and Facebook.com, EXODUS will become the first band on Nuclear Blast Records to broadcast their time in the studio in real time to fans across the globe.

When / Where / Time: The first live stream is set to take place on Friday, December 4, 2009 at 8 p.m. Pacific / 9 p.m. Mountain / 10 p.m. Central / 11 p.m. Eastern.

Fans can also ask questions in real time via the social stream on the live tab on the band's Facebook page or at the microsite on Nuclear Blast USA's web site.

At the end of each live stream session, the band members will sit down and do their best to answer as many questions as possible.

To give you a sneak peek of what's to come, EXODUS has just uploaded the first of many exclusive videos dubbed the "Camp Crunch Sessions" for recording process of the new album. The footage is viewable below.

The German edition of Metal Hammer magazine conducted an interview with EXODUS guitarist Gary Holt at this year's installment of the Graspop Metal Meeting, which was held on June 26-28, 2009 on the festival grounds of the Boeretang in Dessel, Belgium.

When asked about EXODUS' plans for a new studio album, Holt said, "Hopefully we're hitting the studio around November 1 with Mr. Sneap [British producer Andy Sneap; MEGADETH, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY]. It's gonna be sick. We have four [songs] recorded [and left over] from the last session [for 2007's 'The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A'], and I've got, like, nine [other tracks] I'm working on, and Lee [Altus, guitar] has a bunch of stuff. But this next album is gonna blow people's minds."

Regarding the upcoming CD's musical direction, Holt said, "There's a couple of twists on this. I try not to repeat every album. I mean, we did 'Tempo Of The Damned' [2004], [which was] a little more old-school, and we did 'Shovel Headed Kill Machine' [2005], which was really brutal and fast, and then 'The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A' [2007], [which] was, like, longer and more epic songs. So this album's gonna have some different stuff to it. Maybe a little more dual-guitar stuff, 'cause I've been playing with Lee for quite awhile now — a little more dual-guitar harmony shred stuff. "
