CD Exodus – Persona Non Grata

Exodus returns with a vengeance. Released in 2021 via Nuclear Blast, Persona Non Grata serves as a "lecture in savagery," proving that the architects of Bay Area Thrash are still at the top of their game. This 12-track "riff monster" delivers a punishing blend of old-school 80s aggression and modern, crisp production that captures the band’s most demonic energy to date.

The album features the classic lineup of Steve “Zetro” Souza on vocals, the legendary guitar duo of Gary Holt and Lee Altus, Jack Gibson on bass, and Tom Hunting on drums. From the seven-minute title track opener to the relentless, three-minute blast of "The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)," Persona Non Grata is an adrenaline-fueled roller coaster of pummelling riffs and bestial percussion.

Key Tracks:

• Persona Non Grata: A pulverizing title track that takes no prisoners.
• The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves): Classic, high-speed thrash mayhem.
• R.E.M.F.: A circle-pit generator featuring Zetro’s signature rabid vocals.
• Prescribing Horror: A standout, slower track with an eerie, heavy atmosphere.
• Lunatic-Liar-Lord: An epic featuring a guest solo from Rick Hunolt.

Whether you are a long-term fan or a newcomer to the genre, this release is a "poser-executing" masterpiece that solidifies Exodus' legendary status. Grab your copy and prepare for a thrash metal extravaganza.
