Age restricted and only available on youtube?

Trying clicking "watch on YouTube".

Regardless, that song is pretty awesome. I was just wondering what Exodus was up to.

Underwhelming!

I thought it was supposed to be brutal and fast? This is ordinary. No better than the last album…

To be fair, I’m waiting to hear the whole thing before I know for sure.

I was expecting Gary to write the Exodus version of Reign in Blood.

This song is nowhere near that.

Not bad,and Zetro sounds as good as ever!

Same for me.

It’s not bad… but I was expecting something a bit more over the top. Gary had said his time in Slayer influenced this.

On a positive note, Zetro still sounds great .

Let's hope the remaining tracks are better .

I was hoping for something like “Shovel Headed Kill Machine 2.0”

Deathamphetamine is a badass song!

I don’t disagree. He sound as good as ever! It’s the music that didn’t meet my expectations. But like I said, I’m waiting to hear the rest of the album.

Sounds like Exodus to me. It's a short song, but I liked it and will most definitely buy it soon as I can.

Oh and far as the Reign in Blood comment goes. What do you think he's gonna say? The next album is gonna be our Lulu? I don't want it to sound like Slayer, I want an Exodus album. Besides, they already have their Reign in Blood album, it's called Bonded by Blood.

I think you misunderstood my point. I didn’t mean for it to literally sound like Slayer…

I’m thinking “Strike of the Beast” on steroids.

No I understood it,I was just saying it that way in case you actually wanted it to sound like Slayer. That's why I added bonded by Blood in my comment. Either way, it's way to soon to be disappointed, we on my got a three minute song so far. Hard to judge a whole album from three minutes.

Don’t forget that I also said that I’m waiting to hear the rest of the album… I’m certain that I’ll like something on it! It should at least be as good as the previous one.

I must be easy to please. I liked it (shrug).

By all means… don’t let my one comment ruin anyone’s day. It’s just my opinion (thus far).

Just remember that I did the same with Maiden. And then the second song they released I really liked!

By far the best they've done. Best album just about any bands ever done IMO.

I hope the new album features at least a song like this one:
