EXODUS have announced their 12th studio album the follow up to their highest charting record ever and Napalm Records debut, Goliath, out March 20, 2026.
The band have revealed 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 10 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.
EXODUS on 3111: “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.”
