Thrash metal titans EXODUS have proclaimed their excitement as they formalize a global contract with the Austrian rock and metal powerhouse, Napalm Records. This strategic alliance promises to mark the beginning of an invigorating new era for the legendary band.
EXODUS, a vanguard in the thrash metal realm, has recently seized the attention of the metal community with their 11th studio album, ‘Persona Non Grata’ (2021). The album made a thunderous entry, debuting at #1 on the Current Hard Music Albums chart in the USA, and also gaining prominent positions on other charts such as #9 on the Billboard 200 with Hard Rock Genre chart and #20 on the Current Album Sales chart.
Tracing back to their inception over 40 years ago in 1979, EXODUS has been a constant force emanating from the fertile San Francisco Bay Area thrash scene. They have earned the status of being one of the pioneers of the thrash metal genre. The past decade has been particularly monumental for EXODUS, with the reinstatement of their acclaimed former vocalist Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza.
With the indomitable lineup comprising of Gary Holt on guitar, Tom Hunting on drums, Lee Altus on guitar, Jack Gibson on bass, and Steve ‘Zetro’ Souza on vocals, EXODUS has been experiencing escalating global recognition and triumph in their recent times.
The collaboration with Napalm Records signifies an auspicious and exhilarating forthcoming chapter for EXODUS. The combination of EXODUS's groundbreaking thrash metal sound and Napalm Records' proficiency in the rock and metal sector is expected to produce a synergistic effect that will further propel the band’s legacy.
Exodus guitarist Gary Holt says:
“Exodus are extremely excited to announce that we are joining the family at Napalm Records! It’s time for a new chapter for the band, and we are stoked to be joining the label and are starting to put our foot on the gas and get ourselves prepared for the next record! They convinced us with their passion and love for the band, and where we will be going in the future, we couldn’t say no. It’s time to push even further and not only continue to run right over people with our brand of thrash, it’s time to increase the body count! Here’s to new beginnings with Napalm Records!”
Thomas Caser, CEO, Napalm Records adds:
“We are proud to announce this signing of one of the most influential metal bands in the world – one that has proven to always deliver the highest quality throughout the decades of their career. We cannot wait to start the work and on the road together! Welcome to the Napalm family – Exodus!”
Stay tuned for more Exodus news coming soon!
