Thrash metal legends EXODUS, hailing from the San Francisco Bay Area, are releasing Goliath,, their twelfth studio album tomorrow. The album will be available through Napalm Records. Fans can now watch the official music video for Promise You This,, the third single from the new record. You can watch the video below.
Promise You This showcases EXODUS's signature sound with powerful guitar riffs and intense energy, featuring fast solos from guitarist and main songwriter Gary Holt. The song also highlights the strong return of singer Rob Dukes. EXODUS continues to prove its lasting influence in the thrash metal genre, which they helped define for nearly 50 years.
Gary Holt shared his excitement about the track, saying, "'Promise You This' is one of our favorite songs on the new record. It's incredibly heavy but also rocks hard. The song was inspired by life lessons I learned from my father and how it took me a while to truly understand them."
Even after more than 40 years, EXODUS is still pushing boundaries. Their new album, Goliath, is described as their most varied work yet, featuring collaborations with artists like Peter Tägtgren and violinist Katie Jacoby. It also marks the highly anticipated return of Rob Dukes as lead vocalist, who previously fronted the band from 2005 to 2014.
Goliath promises to be as massive as its name suggests, offering a diverse collection of ten anthemic songs. The album is a collaborative effort, with different band members contributing to the songwriting. Rob Dukes' performance on the album is being called the best of his career.
The album was produced by EXODUS and mixed and mastered by Mark Lewis. Goliath aims to capture the authentic, powerful sound that has made EXODUS stand out since their groundbreaking 1985 debut, Bonded By Blood. The band remains committed to creating powerful music, as strong now as when they first started.
