Thrash veterans Exodus have announced their twelfth full-length record Goliath. The album is scheduled for release on March 20th via Napalm Records. It marks the return of former vocalist Rob Dukes, who last appeared on their 2010 release, Exhibit B: The Human Condition. The group themselves produced Goliath with mixing and mastered handled by Mark Lewis (Whitechapel, Nile, Undeath). Speaking of it, the group shared:
“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!”
The album announcement is accompanied by the debut of a new single and opening number, “3111”. Guitarist Gary Holt had the following to say of the track:
“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.”
