Regarding the cover artwork, guitarist Gary Holt recently stated, "We wanted to portray the violence of man at its finest, so we started with our own version of the Leonardo da Vinci sketch [of 'Vitruvian Man'], but done the 'Exodus' way! I was pointed in the direction of Colin Larks of Rainsong Design for the cover and he killed it! To me, the artwork represents man and his affinity for bloodshed, ignorance, and all-around ability to be led like sheep to the slaughter. The image fits the songs on this record perfectly. The whole layout is going to as sick as the record itself!"
Oh yeah new Exodus ! Fucking like the guitar. To me Dying Fetus and Exodus have a lot in common, versus death/thrash guitar. Dying Fetus is like the younger brother of Exodus. By the way "Tempo Of The Damned" is such an underrated album.
I think Rob Dukes is starting to come out from behind of Baloff's shadow, after three releases I'm not thinking of him as the new guy in Exodus who needs to prove himself anymore. I think this record exceeds all expectations that I and fellow Exodus fans hold high. I hope they keep putting out records like this from now on.
Heard the album for the first time today. Doesn't do anything for me (Exodus never did). It's decent, but nothing special. If the songs were better I could probably stand their length. Currently I just find them all too long. At the moment I would give it a 5.5/10.
