Exodus announce new album ‘Persona Non Grata’

EXODUS have announced a new album!

Titled Persona Non Grata, the upcoming album from the veteran American thrashers is the long-awaited follow-up to 2014’s Blood In, Blood Out and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.

For the upcoming album, the band gathered at Tom Hunting‘s house in the mountains where they produced and recorded Persona Non Grata from three home-built studios. Steve Lagudi was at the helm of engineering while the band enlisted Andy Sneap of Backstage Studios to mix the album. For the third time in the band’s history, they returned to Swedish artist Par Olofsson to create the album artwork.

Speaking about the new song, guitarist Gary Holt says, “after what seems like an eon, we now have the debut of our first single, The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves). I’m so jacked up for this and the release of Persona Non Grata! Let’s get the bloodletting started!”
