Exodus with Rob Dukes is a whole 'nother beast. "3111" marks the vocalist's return to the fold after last appearing on an album in 2010, and what a return it is. On a song that's about narco killings in Juarez, Dukes gives a sufficiently menacing performance that's startlingly unhinged. The other members of Exodus said Dukes gave "the performance of his life" on the band's upcoming album

Thrash legends Exodus are fresh off announcing their opening slot on Sepultura's "final" North American tour (alongside Biohazard and Tribal Gaze), and now they've announced a new album, Goliath, due March 20 via Napalm Records ( pre-order). It reunites them with lead vocalist Rob Dukes, who fronted Exodus between 2005 and 2014, and it features contributions from Hypocrisy/Pain's Peter Tägtgren and violinist Katie Jacoby. It was self-produced by the band, and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis.

Sepultura have been making their way through a very long farewell since 2024 and now they've announced a 2026 trek that they say will be their final North American tour. They'll be joined by a pretty incredible batch of bands for this, including thrash legends Exodus, metallic hardcore veterans Biohazard (who are fresh off making a big comeback with last year's great Divided We Fall), and new-school death-metallers Tribal Gaze.

chief among those is Exodus. The studio behind Exodus, Archetype Entertainment, was founded by key developers from BioWare's history, including Baldur's Gate I & II creative director James Ohlen, and Mass Effect I & II writer Drew Karpyshyn. The talent and experience is undeniably there, and it's hard to looks at Exodus and not see the influence of Mass Effect. But the team at Archetype also wants to do something different, made clear by the game's bold new trailer at The Game Awards.
