EXODUS Drummer TOM HUNTING Announces 'Hunting Party' Solo EP
Архив новостей | Русская версия
Legendary thrash drummer Tom Hunting (EXODUS) has released his first solo EP, "Hunting Party", featuring covers of some of his favorite songs.
The band includes guitarist C. Will Harden and drummer Gator McKlusky.
Darryl "DMC" McDaniels not only lends his vocals to the classic "Jungle Love" ("Purple Rain") but wrote his own lyrics for this classic by MORRIS DAY AND THE TIME.
Jack Gibson (EXODUS) lends his bass to "East Bound And Down", joining his bandmate for this classic by Jerry Reed. Jack's love for "Smokey And The Bandit" helped bring an authentic tone to this heavy remake.
Dan Lorenzo (HADES, NON-FICTION, PATRIARCHS IN BLACK) plays bass on the Stevie Wonder classic "You Haven't Done Nothin'", plus the guitar parts behind DMC on "Jungle Love", adding to that crushing original section of the track.
Jonny Rod (RETURN TO DARKNESS) takes on the killer solo for "East Bound and Down", staying true to the classic. He also kills it on bass for "Jungle Love" and "Boys Are Back In Town" by THE BUSBOYS, from the film "48 Hrs.".
James Arthur (WHEELHOUSE JUNCTION) closes the album with his vocal tribute in "East Bound And Down".
Tom worked closely with drummer Gator McKlusky, who also produced and engineered the album, to make sure everything best represented these classics.
The music video for "Boys Are Back In Town", featuring Chuck Billy (TESTAMENT) and Steve "Zetro" Souza (EXODUS) on backing vocals, can be seen here. The clip was created by Craig Cefola.
"Hunting Party" EP track listing:
01. You Haven't Done Nothin'
02. Boys Are Back In Town
03. Jungle Love
04. East Bound And Down
Hunting underwent a successful total gastrectomy in July 2021 in his battle with squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) of the stomach.
A GoFundMe campaign to help Hunting with medical expenses had previously raised more than $111,000 — including $5,000 from Tom's former EXODUS bandmate, current METALLICA guitarist Kirk Hammett, and $1,500 from FOZZY singer and wrestling superstar Chris Jericho.
The 57-year-old rejoined his EXODUS bandmates on stage in early October at the Aftershock festival in Sacramento, California.
