Exodus is in the Studio Working on Two New Albums


Gary Holt, one of the mains in Exodus, let us know what the hell is going on with him and the rest of the band when it comes to making new music. He appeared on The Chuck Shute Podcast, where he spoke on the progress of their follow-up to 2021’s Persona Non Grata…:

“We’ve been in the studio for two weeks now. Tom’s wrapping up drums.

“We’ve set ourselves an ambitious goal on this record. We’re recording two albums right now. We are a couple of songs shy from hitting our total goal of having two albums of crushing material. No filler. We figured if we have the songs, let’s record ’em. And when it’s time to release the follow-up, it’s done, it’s in the can. The chances are by the time we get to that point, I’ll have new stuff that has to be included: ‘Oh, this is so good.’ But then we go into the studio for two weeks, not two months.”

Podcast host Chuck Shute then asked what the rollout will be for the two records and how long (if at all) Exodus plans on making us wait for the goodies:

“Yeah, we’ll keep it in the can, ready to go, and won’t have any downtime. We’re not getting any younger. We might as well work a little extra hard now while we can.

“We’re shooting for a spring release of next year, like late winter, spring. We were hoping to get it done this year, get it out this year, but we would have had to rush it. And since we’re trying to record 20 to 22 songs and we needed the time, it’s gonna be worth it in the end. And the shit is fucking phenomenal.”

This is music to my ears. We need the phenomenal right now. All of us. Exodus is also heading out on a Spring tour called “Swarm of Horror” with Deicide, which is set to start at the end of next month.
