Goliath

Goliath marks a pivotal shift in the Exodus timeline, representing both a homecoming and a new direction. Released in 2026, it serves as the first album featuring vocalist Rob Dukes since 2010, effectively reviving the more aggressive, 'Exhibit-era' sound that many fans associate with the band's most brutal modern work. This transition followed the departure of long-time vocalist Steve 'Zetro' Souza in early 2025. Sonically, the album breaks a thirty-year tradition by moving away from producer Andy Sneap, opting instead for Mark Lewis. This change results in a production style that is noticeably denser and more 'modern' than the polished, surgical clarity of their 2010s output. The songwriting balances the band's thrash roots with longer, more complex arrangements, particularly on the epic 'Summon of the God Unknown.' It is a record defined by its refusal to mellow with age, doubling down on the hostility that made the band legends in the first place.
