Exodus' Goliath: Raw Energy, No Retro Vibes

0:00On April 29th, Thrash Metal Legends Exodus just dropped their new album Goliath after more than 45 years in the game, bringing back vocalist. Rob Dukes, who fronted the band from 2005 to 2015, they split with longtime singer Steve Zetro Souza earlier this year, but guitarist Gary Holt says it's all part of the chaos that keeps them going. Strong, Holt compares the band's singer swaps to messy marriages. Sometimes they just don't work out anymore, no hard feelings. Instead of hunting for fresh voices, they stuck with their own history, and Goliath proves they're still firing on all cylinders without chasing retro. Vibes, fans are buzzing about the raw energy, especially the track, 3-1-1-1, with its brutal video showing Mexico's drug wars. YouTube shut down the uncensored version, but is no surprise given the graphic stuff. Holt knew it'd stir things up. Looking back, Exodus survived dark times like heavy drug errors in the late 90s and early 2000s, even when shows drew tiny crowds.

1:02Holt got sober, pushed through, and now admits he doesn't know how to do anything else but rock. Goliath is out now on Napalm Records, and you can catch the full 3-1-1-1 video at Exodus3111.com, proof these thrash vets. Are still crushing it. Stay tuned with music news today, AI-powered updates.
