One upcoming show we're really looking forward to at the moment is Exodus and Warbringer. Ever since 2004, when Gary Holt reformed Exodus and released Tempo of the Damned, the band have been on an upward success arc. Their most recent disc, The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A was one of the best, most well-crafted metal albums last year and we're guessing Exhibit B is going to be even better. and Warbringer have got to be one of the most promising of the new breed of retro-thrash bands. They kind of remind us of a magical hybrid of Slayer, Dark Angel and, yes, Exodus, and we can't wait to see how they deliver onstage.
Anyway, in celebration of Exodus, we asked guitarist Gary Holt to come up with our new Bang of the Week. He eagerly accepted, and after a minute or two of thought chose Arch Enemy's video for "Revolution Begins."
"Michael Amott is not only a good friend, but, in my opinion, he is the best guitarist in metal. He's so good, it makes me angry; it's just sickening what he can do on his instrument. This is an awesome song from an awesome album."
Would Gary steer you wrong? Not a chance. For proof, check out the Exodus podcast here. And while you're at it, listen to the Arch Enemy podcast here.
Now, Here's Arch Enemy:
