EXODUS have announced their 12th studio album, the follow up to their highest charting record ever and Napalm Records debut, Goliath, out March 20, 2026. In celebration of the announcement, the band reveals the opening track “3111”. The album also marks the return of singer Rob Dukes.

Listen to“3111” below.

EXODUS on “3111”:
“We decided to go hard with the leadoff single, ‘3111’. The song is about the narco killings in Juarez, and ‘3111’ is the estimated number of murders for 2010 alone.”

The official video is too brutal for YouTube and is being denied. It will be released in its entirety at a later time and place. Watch Gary Holt’s Statement AT THIS LOCATION.

In January 2924 it was announced that EXODUS had parted ways with longtime singer Steve “Zetro” Souza and was being rejoined by Dukes.

Produced by EXODUS, mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, Nile, Undeath), Goliath beams with the explosive authenticity that has set EXODUS eons apart from their peers since the release of their debut, 1985’s groundbreaking thrash blueprint Bonded By Blood. 40 years later, EXODUS are steadfast in their refusal to settle for the safety of mediocrity, fearing nothing and no one and continuing to forge their trademark just as resolutely as they did in their fruition.
 
EXODUS on the new album Goliath:
“Are we excited for this record? That’s an understatement. We put everything we had into this record (and it’s 80 percent complete follow up, but we’ll save that conversation for another day!) and it’s one of our proudest accomplishments. Wildly collaborative, the most band centric album to date with four songs written by Lee, lyrics by Gary, Rob, Lee and Tom, and just killer all the way around. The time to let the monster loose is coming! Bow Down!”
