Exodus guitarist Gary Holt is busy writing the band's 2021 record Persona Non Grata, and it's apparently heavy as shit. According to Holt in an Instagram post: "Riffing out HARD AF…. Fully in writing mode now, assembling the pieces of the next album opener. Most brutal crushing thing ever. I am stoked. Very. WHY SO HEAVY."
Exodus recently signed to Napalm Records and they've got a handful of festival appearances coming up this September.
"Exodus are extremely excited to announce that we are joining the family at Napalm Records!" said Holt of the signing. "It's time for a new chapter for the band, and we are stoked to be joining the label and are starting to put our foot on the gas and get ourselves prepared for the next record! They convinced us with their passion and love for the band, and where we will be going in the future, we couldn't say no. It's time to push even further and not only continue to run right over people with our brand of thrash, it's time to increase the body count! Here's to new beginnings with Napalm Records!"
"We are proud to announce this signing of one of the most influential metal bands in the world – one that has proven to always deliver the highest quality throughout the decades of their career," added Thomas Caser, CEO, Napalm Records. "We cannot wait to start the work and on the road together! Welcome to the Napalm family – Exodus!"
