EXODUS have announced a brand new album!

The Bay Area thrash legends have announced their 12th studio album, Goliath, which is set for release on March 20th, 2026 via Napalm Records. The album is the follow-up to 2021’s Persona Nona Grata and marks the return of vocalist Rob Dukes. Featuring ten new tracks written collaboratively between band members and guest performances from Peter Tägtgren and Katie Jacoby, Goliath intends to continue the band’s established legacy while pushing forward creatively.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band shares, “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!”

To coincide with the announcement, EXODUS have released the album’s opening track, 3111, a sinister and breakneck lead single. The single’s accompanying music video has been deemed too brutal for YouTube and is being denied, it will be released in its entirety at a later time and place. Speaking about 3111, the band comments, “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.”
