Noted thrash legends Exodus have announced their forthcoming studio album, Goliath.

Their first release since the departure of vocalist Steve Souza in 2017 will be their twelfth studio album overall and features a massive opening track titled \u2013111.” The song's video was initially flagged for being too violent by YouTube, but is now available in its entirety on the band's website.

Set around Mexico’s notorious Ciudad Juárez, \u2013111” showcases Exodus’ continued willingness to tackle bold and taboo subjects through their lyrics.

The album will be released March 20 through Napalm Records and was produced by Exodus themselves alongside Mark Lewis.

A comprehensive tour schedule has been revealed in support of Goliath, commencing with a string of Canadian shows alongside Megadeth and Anthrax before transitioning to the EU/UK leg alongside Kreator and Carcass.

A North American run with Sepultura will follow.

Goliath boasts ten tracks showcasing Exodus’ ever-evolving approach, including standout cuts “Promise You This,” “Goliath,” and the epic “Summon Of The God Unknown.” A plethora of physical formats will be available to pre-order now via Napalm Records, featuring a range of unique artwork configurations.

A boxset edition featuring additional merchandise is also on offer.

Key supporting acts for each leg include Carcass, Kreator and Sepultura, with more information available through the respective tour websites.",
