Gary Holt, songwriter and lead guitarist of EXODUS: “After many years in the planning and discussion stage, we have finally completed the re-recording of “Bonded By Blood.” We have decided to call it “Let There Be Blood” and it is our way of paying homage to Paul Baloff by showing how relevant these songs we had written together still are. We aren’t trying to replace the original, that’s impossible anyway. We are just giving these songs the benefit of modern production. It’s something we talked about before Paul’s death and it’s always been important to us to do. We were super excited about entering the studio once again to record these classics, and now it’s back to writing the next studio record!”

The album is a tribute to Paul Ballott, the band’s original vocalist, who died in 2002.

American thrash legends Exodus will play Sziget on August 17th, starting at 20:00 hours, at the Hammerworld Stage.

Last name on Main Stage?

We’ve had a lot of feedback from you about the line-up poll and most of you (51% - 188 votes) thought it could have been better this year. Still, a closer look at the Main Stage schedule on the official site will rise a question mark.

There is nothing programmed on Friday August 15th, in the spot between URH and Sex Pistols. Will there be a new announcement soon? That is the question.

It it very hard to think that the spot will remain empty or that URH will play for three whole hours.

You can continue to vote in the poll, too.


What do you think about this year’s Sziget line-up?

It exceeded my expectations

Very good

Good

Could have been better

Nothing interesting
