No BanJOs. No Muppets.
Simply put: the new Exodus album -- delightfully titled Shovel Headed Kill Machine -- thrashes around like it's 1986.
[I'm working on my own thrash metal track called "Oxy-Incontinent". Vice will be releasing it as a special holiday single to benefit the North American Christmas Prevention Initiative. Guests currently lined up: Lemmy, Petra Haden, the two dudes from Early Man, Orenda Fink, Max Cavelera, Jenny Lewis, Scott Ian, Eugene Mirman, Alec Ounsworth, and former Korn guitarist Brian Welch. The track will be recorded in Rick Rubin's "Zen Room" while several Suicide Girls gyrate in cages. B-side: an alt-countryish take on King Diamond's "No Presents For Christmas".]
