Guitarist Gary Holt of EXODUS and SLAYER fame stopped by The Metal Zone with Nikki Blakk to talk about his upcoming shows with Exodus and Slayer, the writing process for new (happy?!) Exodus material, and shares some stories about the late great Jeff Hanneman and Paul Baloff, and more!

EXODUS and SLAYER guitarist Gary Holt spoke with Kevin J. Wells from The Washington Times recently about a number of topics. A few excerpts from the chat follow:
Kevin J. Wells: Is there a new Exodus record in the works?
Gary Holt: Right now, I’m starting to compile riffs and get to that stage and I’m gonna continue writing while out the upcoming Slayer tour as well. I pretty much have a break from the world of Slayer ‘til next April. So, I’m using this time off to make sure that I get that next Exodus record done.”
KW: Is Slayer is also starting work a new record?
GH: “The recording for that should start sometime maybe by the end of this year. So, hopefully, then kill two birds with one stone and manage to keep both bands touring at the same time. Who knows?”
KW: Will you do any of the recording with Slayer?
GH: “It looks like I’ll probably be doing solos on the record, but the songs are all written. Kerry (King) will handle all that stuff. My plate’s kind of full anyway, so I’ll probably be bouncing back and forth from L.A. to San Francisco.”
KW: Tom Araya said that there are a few Jeff Hanneman songs that he was working on. Have you had a chance to hear them and has Slayer done any work on them?
GH: “No. I know they have some stuff, you know, I think the bulk of whatever’s left over was stuff that remained from World Painted Blood, but I haven’t heard it yet, so I can’t comment on it. I’m sure it’d be super cool to have some of his last final works end up on the Slayer album. That would be awesome.”
