THRASH TILL DEATH: EXODUS RELEASE NEW ALBUM “SHOWS NO MERCY” IN 2025
Thrash metal legends **EXODUS** are back with a vengeance, delivering a ferocious new album titled *”Shows No Mercy,”* set for release in early 2025. The Bay Area pioneers, who helped define the thrash metal genre alongside bands like Metallica, Slayer, and Testament, have once again proven why they remain a dominant force in heavy music after more than four decades.
The new album marks a significant milestone for Exodus, following their critically acclaimed 2021 release, *Persona Non Grata.* While the previous album tackled societal issues and political corruption, *”Shows No Mercy”* takes a darker, more personal turn. According to founding guitarist Gary Holt, the album explores themes of betrayal, vengeance, and survival—a reflection of the turbulent times we live in.
“This album is pure, unrelenting thrash metal,” says Holt. “We didn’t hold back. It’s aggressive, it’s fast, and it’s raw. We wanted to capture the energy of our early days while also pushing our sound forward. This is Exodus at our most brutal.”
Fans can expect blistering guitar riffs, pounding drums, and venomous vocals from frontman Steve “Zetro” Souza. The band has already teased tracks like *”Blood Vengeance”* and *”No Forgiveness,”* which have been met with overwhelming excitement from their loyal fan base. The lead single, *”The Reckoning,”* is a crushing anthem that delivers the classic Exodus sound with a modern twist.
Exodus has also announced a massive world tour to coincide with the album’s release. Dubbed the **”Thrash Till Death Tour 2025,”** the band will be hitting stages across North America, Europe, and South America, bringing their electrifying live performance to fans around the globe.
*”Shows No Mercy”* is not just a new album—it’s a statement. After decades of dominating the thrash metal scene, Exodus proves they’re still as relevant and relentless as ever. Prepare to be annihilated!
