With a bond forged in youth and decades-old friendship, the undisputed masters of thrash metal released their eleventh studio album, PERSONA NON GRATA last year via Nuclear Blast Records. This week the band announced they are kicking off 2023 by heading on the road as special guests to ANTHRAX and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY's second round of co-headlining dates. The 24-date tour launches on January 17 at the Revolution Concert House in Boise, ID, and concludes on February 18 in Oakland, CA at the Fox Theatre.
Gary Holt states, “EXODUS are super stoked to announce that we will be touring with ANTHRAX and BLACK LABEL SOCIETY. Touring with our long-time friends in Anthrax is always an epic good time, and now we get to tour with BLS and watch Zakk and company rip it up nightly too! Going to be awesome and we will be bringing our unique brand of audio violence to every city! Let the metal roll!”

Literally translating to “an unwelcome” or “unacceptable” person, PERSONA NON GRATA touches on themes of modern societal disgust and degradation. The band gathered at Tom Hunting's house in the mountains where they produced and recorded Persona Non Grata from three home-built studios. Steve Lagudi was at the helm of engineering while the band enlisted Andy Sneap of Backstage Studios to mix the album. For the third time in the band’s history, they returned to Swedish artist Par Olofsson to create the album artwork.
