Seriously. When I opened the press release from Nuclear Blast there was a bright yellow warning that said:

“***VIEWERS WHO ARE EPILEPTIC OR PRONE TO SEIZURES ARE ASKED NOT TO VIEW THIS VIDEO DUE TO ITS STROBING EFFECT.***”

So heed the warning if you pertain to those mentioned. Here is the Downfall video from Exodus. The rest of the presser follows:

The track comes off the band’s Billboard Top 200 charting album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition. The video was shot on April 1st on the old set of the television sitcom Night Court and features animated sequences by Los Angeles-based traditional animator Jeremy Polgar.

Here is the full concert that Exodus streamed live from the Key Club in Hollywood, California Friday night for their CD release party for Exhibit B: The Human Condition. It’s about an hour long so grab some popcorn and beer.

Can’t make any of the Exodus North America tours this year? Want to see them live…or the closest thing to it? Tune in to Stickam.com tomorrow night, June 11th at 10:20 (PST) to watch Exodus streaming live at the Key Club in Hollywood, California for their record release show for Exhibit B: The Human Condition. Can’t stay up that late? It’s okay for whatever reason you have. The show will be available at a later time at the same location.

Exodus, the band that somehow got left out of “The Big 4″ back in the thrash movement, is currently streaming Exhibit B: The Human Condition on their Myspace. Exhibit B is the follow up to The Atrocity Exhibit: Exhibit A from 2007. I’ve listened to the album twice but have yet to completely decide how I feel about it, so that usually means that it’s not grabbing me as much as I expected. Is it solid? Absolutely. Listen for yourself and if you like what you hear, pick it up tomorrow or order it directly from Nuclear Blast in it’s various packages.

Exodus are streaming a new track from Exhibit B: The Human Condition on their MYSPACE. the new track titled Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer), is the follow up to the first track Hammer And The Life Demo released last month. Exhibit B, the follow up to 2007′s The Atrocity Exhibit: Exhibit A and will be released via Nuclear Blast Records on May 18th.

Seems to me the only good thing about Myspace these days is hearing new tracks from bands with upcoming albums. Other than that, Myspace is pretty irrelevant as it tries more and more to be like Facebook. On to the story. Exodus have posted the tracklisting and a new song (Hammer And Life) from their upcoming album, Exhibit B: The Human Condition. Exhibit B is obviously the follow-up to 2007′s The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A. You can hear the new song on Myspace or you can actually download it on Nuclear Blasts Sinister Spring Slaughter for free from Amazon. Keep an eye out at Nuclear Blast’s Webshop for exclusive preorders and packages for Exhibit B. Tracklist after the fold. Read the rest of this entry »

Alex Skolnick is a busy man. Between playing in Testament, Trans-Siberian Orchestra and The Alex Skolnick Trio, he’s got a lot on his plate. His current project, touring in support of the release of The Alex Skolnick Trio’s Last Day In Paradise will leave him absent from touring with Testament on Megadeth’s Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary tour with Exodus during March. He’ll also start touring with the Trans Siberian Orchestra towards the end of March for their first ever Spring tour, performing Beethoven’s Last Night in its entirety and songs from  Night Castle.

Here is the ironic part, but not like an uncomfortable irony. Glenn Drover, former guitarist of Megadeth will be filling in for Skolnick on the tour. No doubt that Glen can handle this as he has filled in before and is completely competent in his abilities.

All I can say is that I just had to change my pants. Here is the announcement from Megadeth.com. Tour dates after the fold.

Megadeth will join forces with Testament and Exodus for a month-long jaunt that will find these thrash titans crisscrossing the nation on the Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour. These will be incredibly special shows that will delightMegadeth fans, as the band will be playing their landmark, genre-defining album, 1990’s “Rust in Peace”, in its entirety, in addition to other Megadeth set list favorites. The tour will kick off on March 1st in Spokane, WA and will run through the end of the month. MegaFanClub tickets presale will be held on Thursday, January 28th from 10AM to 10PM. Tickets go on sale to the general public Friday, January 29th

So, here it is, the Hooked! Thrash Metal Edition of the Hook In Mouth Podcast. Again, I’m all over the place between songs. I tried to minimize the “uhs’ and Ums” but shit, I can’t help it I guess. Also I’m a little stuffed up from allergies right now so I sound like a little kid.

Below is the track list of the songs and bands I played. Stay tuned in a couple of weeks for more thrash metal. I love it and it it’s timeless. That’s why there are so many thrash metal bands still out there. Not because it’s trendy but because thrash metal kicks ass like no other. This edition ran about an hour and 30 minutes [63.4 mb]. the Megadeth sample levels (from Amazon.de) are kind of loud but you get the point.

If you enjoyed the bands in this podcast, please buy the albums and go to their shows if they come to your local venues. Support the bands’; otherwise you’ll just have to listen to the garbage force-fed to you by the radio waves. Read the rest of this entry »
