Great news from the fingers of Mr Holt:

Breaking news in the Exodus camp! I’d like to take a moment here and welcome back Tom Hunting to the drum throne of Exodus. It was always understood that when and if Tom was ever ready to resume his drumming duties for the band his seat would be waiting. Paul always knew this, and was the first to say it upon joining the band. Paul and Tom always have been good friends and we, as a band, cannot thank Paul enough for his services on Shovel Head and all subsequent tours. We had a great time, and kicked many asses along the way. Paul has given this reunion his whole endorsement with no mixed blessings, and is happy to see Tom back in the fold. Now someone may just become the luckiest suckers in the world, because one hell of a drummer is on the market! We wish Paul all the best, and he will always be a member of the extended Exodus family.
That having been said, we are so excited to have Tom back in the band he co-founded. He, other than the time spent out of the band, is the only drummer I’ve ever played with, and him and I have an unspoken language of metal that I am stoked to continue.
We are hard at work on the new songs, and this shit is the best and heaviest music we’ve ever written. I’ve kept quiet until now, because everyone always brags about how great the new shit is. But this is no boast. This album will redefine thrash metal as we no it. We will be hitting the studio mid- May with Mr. Sneap, and you have been warned.

Fucking ace, I love Tom's drumming.

awesome

who's gonna get Bostaph?? Isn't Gene Hoglan free atm too?

Fucking nice.

fuckin well smart

now all we need is zetro back and it will be like the end of roger rabbet where all the trees and roads are have'in a sing song and a bit of a dance!

A surreal image!

I'll say exactly what I said over at Metal Ireland: It's cool to see Hunting back in the band and all, but I'd be more excited if it was Hunolt.

So much for Mr. 'I Will Never Work With Tom Hunting Again'. I've seen Gary explicitly claim on the Exodus board many times that he couldn't let Tom back in the band because he's a nervous wreck that keeps having panic attacks.

Good news I guess anyway.

Bane, I hope you are joking about Hunolt.

I'm pretty sure you mean Hunolt...

Excellent! Exodus wasnt the same without him IMO, hopefully they will do something a bit different to SHKM now he's back.

I love Paul Bostaph's drumming on SHKM, and he was fucking wicked live, but it's great news to hear that another original memeber is back!!!

I hope the new album is different to TOTD and SHKM, but it should rage all the same!!!

and not get sneap to produce it!

No, I'm pretty sure I mean Hunting.

Hunolt was the one who was addicted to crystal meth and who had to quite the band to look after his kids because their mother is an unreliable crack-whore.

Gary and Tom used to live together and Gary has said that he has had to get Tom to A & E on many an occasion because he suffers from severe panic attacks.

good to see an original memeber back in the band.

I kinda laugh at the "redefine thrash" comment. I hate when bands say stuff like that. I kinda wish Hunolt would come back to that Lee could get to Heathen and get that album done. It will shit on what Exodus are doing at the moment if it ever gets out. It will redefine thrash lol

great news! tom hunting is one of my fav drummers!! fuckin ace!just need dukes to be kicked out, and gary to rediscover his goof from within and it'l be awesome.
