New Exodus artwork (Exhibit B)

Looks pretty damn good! Can't wait to buy it.

looking forward to it.

Judging an album by it's cover this album is going to be AWESOMMMME!!!!

By the way, did you know this is Frank Constanza's favorite thrash band?

Funny how these 80s thrash bands started adding pentagrams when they didn't have them back in the day (ANNIHILATOR, EXODUS, ANTHRAX, etc.) Not sure how that got MORE popular than it was in the 80s.

That cover looks GREAT!

While it looks good, it aint too original.

Stupid. Of course I would think that.

They're more mature in their faith nowadays.

Pentagrams are cool.

YES YES YES!!! This is one of my most anticipated albums of the freeking year!!!!





This is worth going APE-SH!T over!!! Their last few albums have all been amazing!!!

I am WAY behind on Exodus. Haven't heard any of their modern stuff.

It's really freeking good dude. Some people say they are going the way of metalcore -- but that's total bullsh!t! Their stuff is 100% thrash -- and they are doing it WAY better than most of the other 'newbie' bands that people are going goo-goo gah-gah over.

You're not missing anything. Get "Tempo of the Damned" is you don't have that one though.

Bull.

Wow. That artwork is crap. You guys like it?

I own nothing by the band. Never have. Bizarre.

I think it's cool art.

Why don't you have anything by Exodus? Don't you like thrash? They are amongst the finest thrash bands.

Thrash is my least favorite form of metal outside of death and black metal. Don't get me wrong, I have tons of thrash albums; but there are also plenty of popular thrash bands I've never listened to.

I've just always found a lot of thrash to be boring so it's kept me from checking out more bands.

It will be mine!

i think the pentagram is fitting since Exhibit A had a cross. as for whether the art work is any good, well that's subjective. all art is.

I don't like the artwork because of the pentagram... i like it because it's a morbid twist on the famous Leonardo Divinci sketch.

Not to mention that the human condition is sinful/evil... so maybe the pentagram represents that also.

If this album is anything like Exhibit A, I probably won't be digging it. I like Tempo of the Damned. I thought Shovel Headed was good, but a fair bit weaker. I didn't care much for Exhibit A, mostly due to the vocals and the lyrics. Dukes isn't a bad vocalist, but whereas Baloff and Zetro gave Exodus some personality. Dukes just sort of fits in with the pack, sounding like any number of modern metal vocalists.

The lyrics on Exhibit A were not only an attack on religion, but anyone that has any sort of faith in God whatsoever. Basically Holts lyrics make the claim that if you have faith in a God you are ignorant. As such, they are preaching a message that is just as extreme and ridiculous as the hyper-conservative religious preachers. Slayer may attack the hypocrisy in the church and government, and rightly so. Hypocrisy deserves to be attacked. However, Holt attacks Christianity and the very idea of God itself and makes claims such as "eternal life in heaven is a fallacy" and "Christ is the same yesterday today and forever is a lie."
