In other news, Gary Holt, EXODUS' founding member and guitarist, has commented on the new recording of "Hell's Breath", a rare track from the band's 1980 demo. "Hell's Breath" will be included on "Let There Be Blood" as a bonus track.

He said, "When Tom [Hunting, drums] and I finished the drum tracks for 'Let There Be Blood', we had a half a day of studio time left, we tried to come up with something to record with the spare time we had. One thing led to another, and next thing you know I started playing the opening riff to 'Hell's Breath', which is when we both said 'Hell yeah!' Funny thing is, neither of us had played the song for two-plus decades, so we were going by memory on the exact arrangement of the song. It wasn't until I started deciphering my old lyrics from some live MP3s that a friend had sent me, that I realized we had gotten the original solo section wrong! Just slightly different, but overall, this one came out so killer, almost makes me want to track some more of those old classics!"

Regarding the band's decision to re-record "Bonded By Blood", Holt previously said: "It is our way of paying homage to Paul Baloff [former EXODUS vocalist who passed away in 2002] 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!"

Gary Holt was interviewed on the July 26, 2008 edition of "The Classic Metal Show" about the band's decision to re-record "Bonded by Blood". Listen to the interview in two parts below.
