“Blood Upon The Goat”

“Aggressive and in-your-face and the fastest album we’ve ever done. I was able to concentrate on leads and I played some of the best stuff I ever have.”

This is how guitarist & songwriter Gary Holt of Bay Area thrashers EXODUS describes his work on the band’s tenth studio album, Blood In, Blood Out, on Nuclear Blast, in the first of five trailers showcasing material from the bonus “Making Of” DVD entitled “Blood Upon The Goat”, which will be included in the album’s digi-pak and import box set versions.

GUITAR WORLD.com will debut all five video exclusives beginning today with a new one each week. View the “Making-Of Blood In, Blood Out – Part 1” footage on GUITAR WORLD.com’s homepage, HERE.
