Where does Goliath (2026) land in the legendary discography of Exodus?
In this video, I rank every Exodus studio album from worst to best, covering over four decades of pure thrash metal aggression. From the genre-defining chaos of Bonded by Blood to the modern-day brutality of Persona Non Grata and the brand-new Goliath, this is a complete breakdown of the band’s evolution, highs, lows, and everything in between.
Whether you're a longtime fan or just getting into Exodus, this ranking dives into each era, the raw 80s classics, the controversial 90s shift, and the powerful comeback albums that reestablished Exodus as thrash titans.
Albums Ranked:
Bonded by Blood (1985)
Pleasures of the Flesh (1987)
Fabulous Disaster (1989)
Impact Is Imminent (1990)
Force of Habit (1992)
Tempo of the Damned (2004)
Shovel Headed Kill Machine (2005)
The Atrocity Exhibition... Exhibit A (2007)
Exhibit B: The Human Condition (2010)
Blood In, Blood Out (2014)
Persona Non Grata (2021)
Goliath (2026)
