If you\\u2019re a devoted follower of the Rig Rundown series, you\\u2019ve probably noticed our recent rash of thrash. We\\u2019ve featured nearly every corner of the genre\\u2014heavyweights Megadeth, torchbearers Anthrax, revivalists Municipal Waste, and, now, pioneers Exodus get their (re)visit. Their four-decade reign and 11 gnashing albums are brimming with sinister, trouncing, wood-splitting riffs and vividly vicious narratives. And the blade of this chainsaw collective is its longest-tenured member, fretboard flyer Gary Holt, whose last Rig Rundown appearance was in 2015.

During the afternoon of Exodus\\u2019 middle slot for the ongoing The Bay Strikes Back tour\\u2014featuring neighbors Testament and Death Angel\\u2014at Nashville\\u2019s Brooklyn Bowl, Holt\\u2019s tech Steve Brogden invited PG\\u2019s Perry Bean onstage to catalog the thrasher\\u2019s setup. In this RR, Brogdon details the murderous axes, custom cabs, and more that Holt is packing into the trailer and onto the stage.
