Wait, so Gary Holt is officially their guitar player now, and not just in the band temporarily to help with touring? I don't know how I feel about that. Exodus has been doing far better than Slayer in the past decade and a half, but the dude also likes to write songs that are way too long. Seeing as he's also the undisputed band leader of his own group, I don't know what that'll mean for the inter-group politics/musical direction in Slayer now.
On the other hand, he has written a lot more good songs than Slayer have recently, and with Kerry King there to reign in his long-winded, wannabe-technical tendencies, the songwriting might actually get a well-needed kick in the pants without becoming bloated. It's not like the original lineup didn't make a ****ty album last time around, so I guess they have nothing to lose.
But that new song did suck ass. So, my expectations are low.
