Exodus Brings Back Vocalist Steve Souza…. Again
Originators of thrash metal, EXODUS, have announced they are returning to their roots by welcoming the return of Steve “Zetro” Souza. As frontman Rob Dukes has left the band, Souza returns to the band for the third time. He original fronted the band 1986-1993 and then again 2002-2004. He was a part of albums such as Pleasures of the Flesh, Fabulous Disaster, Impact is Imminent, Good Friendly Violent Fun, and Force of Habit, also appearing on 2004’s Tempo of the Damned.
Guitarist Gary Holt commented:
“As a band, we all had to make a very difficult choice to part ways with Rob Dukes. We have nothing but love and admiration for him and the deepest gratitude for the hard work he has put in and the great work on some killer records. But at this time, Tom, Lee, Jack and myself thought a change was necessary and the unanimous choice going forward was to welcome back Steve Souza to the fold!”
Souza adds:
“I spent a great part of my life with EXODUS, that blood flows through me, even not being in the band for the past 10 years, you can’t erase that chemistry. I’m very excited!”
The band is working on their 11th studio album, which is being produced by Andy Sneap and is set to release later this year via Nuclear Blast. Exodus also has some tour dates coming up which you can check out below.
