Kirk Hammett Announces Encore Performance with EXODUS
at the Upcoming FEAR FestEvil!
Just when you thought things couldn’t get more brutal…
Recently, Bay Area thrash legends EXODUS announced
that they will perform at the very first FEAR FestEvil, taking place on
February 7 at Regency Ballroom (located at 1300 Van Ness Avenue, San Francisco,
CA 94108).
Today, new information has surfaced – FEAR FestEvil creator
and Metallica guitarist Kirk Hammett has announced that he will not only
perform at the festival himself, but will also take part in a special encore
performance with a blast from his past – that’s right, EXODUS! This is a
can’t-miss event!
Guitarist Gary Holt adds, “EXODUS is stoked as fuck
to announce that none other than Kirk Von Hammett himself will be jamming with
us during our encore at FEAR FestEvil! What song? Hmm, that remains to be seen!
I guess you will have to be there to find out!

When it comes to thrash metal, in particular Bay Area thrash, EXODUS are one
of the true Godfathers. Formed in 1980 by guitarist Tim Agnello, drummer Tom
Hunting, bassist Carlton Melson and some other six-stringer called Kirk
Hammett, Agnello soon left, allowing Hammett's guitar tech Gary Holt to step
up and in. Hammett then stumbled across Paul Baloff, a demo was recorded,
Hammett left to join some other upstarts, Rick Hunolt took the other guitar
and the rest became history. Their 1984 debut Bonded By Blood is a stonewall
genre classic, and with cranium crunching classics such as '"A Lesson In
Violence", "Strike Of The Beast" and more.
EXODUS can promise that this show will not be a calm
or gentle soiree… more than an aural beatdown.
