Bay Area Thrash legends Exodus unleash Goliath, marking the triumphant return of Rob Dukes
Exodus have announced their twelfth studio album, the follow up to their highest charting record ever and Napalm Records debut, Goliath, which will be coming out on March 20th, 2026.
Today, the band reveals the massive opening track 3111 – the sinister single strikes dissonant chords before careening into breakneck thrash intensity. This album standout showcases Exodus’ ever-increasingly dynamic approach, even decades into their historic reign.

Emerging hungrier than ever in 2026, with Goliath, Exodus reinforces their eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal’s hierarchy with ten of their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the widely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes – first appearing on 2005’s Shovel Headed Kill Machine – the album boasts what the band describes as the performance of his life.
Goliath is Exodus’ most collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring songs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby.

Apparently, Youtube considered the music video that accompanies the new Exodus track “too brutal” for their platform, and as such, the only way to hear their new single is to listen on one of their streaming service accounts – here.
