Aw, c’mon. Priceline.com’s stock may be in the toilet, but you didn’t honestly believe Captain Kirk and Gary Holt had joined forces on a new extreme metal project, did you?
No, Exodus: An Oratorio in Three Parts has got nothing to do with one of San Francisco’s finest old-school thrash bands — but it does feature William Shatner. The has-been actor performs alongside the Arkansas Symphony Orchestra (what, the New York Philharmonic were already booked?) on a bunch of music written by David Itkin, who has been the music director of the symphony for the past 15 years.
According to the project’s publicist, Exodus: An Oratoria in Three Parts is a “must have for fans of Shatner as well as people interested in inspirational recordings and classic Biblical literature.”
We may be going out on a limb here, but we’re guessing Holt doesn’t fall into either category.
