Exodus release new song ‘The Years Of Death And Dying’

EXODUS have released a brand new song!

The new song, titled The Years Of Death And Dying, is taken from the American thrash metal band’s upcoming new album, Persona Non Grata, which is scheduled to be released in November this year.

Speaking about the new song, drummer Tom Hunting says, “The Years Of Death And Dying started out as a poem, from the perspective of Death, being a thinking entity, always watching and looking for weakness and opportunity to come calling for people. A Grim Reaper story. We were losing legends: Bowie, Cash, Petty, Prince, Frey… the list goes on and on. Then we started losing family members and friends in our own orbit. Anyway, the title came first, then the poem, which became a song. I shared the lyrics with Gary, who helped inspire me with phrasing to finish it, and the guys loved it. The song is really long, and more legends kept passing right up into the moment Zet was singing it, so I had to keep writing until I had enough to complete the song. We hope you enjoy our tribute to the fallen!”
