Let There Be Blood
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Let There Be Blood is a re-recording of Exodus's 1985 album Bonded by Blood, featuring their modern lineup. The only band members who play on both Bonded by Blood and Let There Be Blood are guitarist Gary Holt and drummer Tom Hunting. The title of the album is a parody to Let There Be Rock, the 1977 album by AC/DC (who Exodus has cited as an influence and covered "Overdose", which appears on Let There Be Rock while Exodus' cover version appears on their 1988 album Fabulous Disaster).

[edit] Reception
Let There Be Blood has met mixed reviews. The musical quality of the album has been praised, but reviewers have questioned the need for such a re-make,[3][4] with Cosmo Lee of Allmusic going so far as to accuse it of being a potential "cash-in" on the original album's legacy.[5]
