“Top-charting originators of thrash EXODUS have emerged hungrier than ever in 2026. Resurging at full force with their 12th studio album Goliath, the band reinforces their eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal’s hierarchy with 10 of their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the widely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes \u0096 first appearing on 2005\u0092s Shovel Headed Kill Machine \u0096 the album boasts what the band describes as the performance of his life. Goliath is EXODUS\u0092 most collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring songs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter T\u00e4gtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby. <\/p>\n
Goliath wastes no time proving as massive as its name, with a sinister introduction opening \u00933111\u0094 that strikes dissonant chords before careening into breakneck thrash intensity. Ode to owning one\u0092s own volatility \u0093Hostis Humani Generis\u0094 features a palpable lyrical delivery from Rob Dukes that cuts like crystal amid frenetic riffs, before rolling into \u0093The Changing Me\u0094. The track\u0092s introductory notes cascade into hair-raising rhythms, forming one of the band\u0092s most anthemic offerings \u0096 blending menace and melody with the skyscraping screams and cleans of guest Peter T\u00e4gtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and harmonic dual axe acrobatics from resident guitar legends Gary Holt and Lee Altus. \u0093Promise You This\u0094 incites mosh pit treachery with explosive energy, cyclonic riffs and turbocharged soloing from Holt, prior to colossal title track \u0093Goliath\u0094 simmering the tempo down with winding, malevolent leads, towering drums and ominous string work from Katie Jacoby coupling with intricate guitars. The album standout showcases the band\u0092s ever-increasingly dynamic approach, even decades into their historic reign. Tracks like \u0093Beyond The Event Horizon\u0094 and \u00932 Minutes Hate\u0094 provide EXODUS\u0092 trademark deadly dose of thrash theatricality \u0096 the latter boasting one of the album\u0092s most grimacing, grooving pit primers \u0096 while undeniably 90s-tinged metallic charm attacks alongside drummer Tom Hunting and bassist Jack Gibson\u0092s unmistakable rhythmic rage on tracks like \u0093Violence Works\u0094. The nearly eight-minute epic \u0093Summon Of The God Unknown\u0094 turns the danger dial to max capacity, setting the stage with a wicked introductory passage before traversing a variegated passage of trudging riffs and heavy metal melody. Power packed closer \u0093The Dirtiest Of The Dozen\u0094 wraps the album on a manic high, showcasing EXODUS pulling out all the stops on all instruments. Flurried dueling solos, an isolated bass excursion, rigorous drum dexterity and a blend of both gritty vocal passages and cutting chants combine to serve as yet another prime example of the band\u0092s ever-evolving musical mastery.<\/p>\n
Produced, 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\u0092s 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.”<\/p>\n
