Gary Holt Says Slayer and Exodus Are Like Night and Day


. (Classic Rock) Slayer and Exodus guitarist Gary Holt says the two bands' methods for recording albums are like night and day. Holt - who joined Slayer two years before former axeman Jeff Hanneman's death in 2013 - is working on his first album with Kerry King's crew. And he says the process has been an eye opener - a far cry from the goat farm owned by Exodus drummer Tom Hunting and where the band usually record.

Holt tells Full Metal Jackie: "The way we make albums is drastically different, because, you know, Kerry and the guys, they just work tirelessly nonstop for months and months on the record. And personally I get real sick of making albums if I spend too long doing it.

"And Exodus, we build our own studios all the time. We'll do the drums in a proper studio and then we recorded everything else on the goat ranch where Tom lives.

"And Slayer set up shop in a top-flight studio and set up shop there for a long time. The Slayer album is killer, though. People are gonna be blown away." Read more here.
