It's about the whole horror of life inside the ghettos with the crack epidemic and all the gang warfare going on. The fourth song is 'Within the Walls of Chaos,' which is quite an epic. The third song is 'Lunatic Parade,' which is about the story of our lives on the road, the lunatic parade that it is. The second song is called 'AWOL,' and it's an anti-traitor song, hypothetically based on the Ollie North, Contra Affairs and all this bullshit goin' on. Gary gave me a track-by-track rundown of the new LP: 'The title track and the first song on the album is 'Impact Is Imminent.' It's an anti-drunk-driving song that basically talks about how totally stupid it is to die behind the wheel when there's no need to. From his tasty classical pieces to complex techno-Egyptian riffs, Gary's playing incorporates many styles. He is by far the most versatile, accomplished guitarist in thrash today, rivaled only by Testament's Alex Skolnick. Gary is a very outgoing, likeable person who has incredible conviction in himself and his band.

Having known Gary for years as a photographer and drinking partner, I felt totally comfortable interviewing him. The new LP was produced by Gary and fellow guitarist Rick Hunolt, and is the fastest, heaviest stuff they've done since their classic debut album. Thrash Metal recently talked to guitarist Gary Holt at San Francisco's Alpha-Omega Studios, where he was busy finishing the final mixes of the new Exo-Epic, Impact Is Imminent. Armed with a brutal, face-shredding new LP, a pounding new drummer and a major new record deal, long-time San Francisco Bay Area thrashers Exodus are set to make a major impact on the ever-expanding thrash scene as they enter a new decade.
