Rob Dukes is back in Exodus, but is Goliath the triumphant return fans were hoping for, or does it fall short of the band's best work? In this review, I break down everything that went right and wrong with Exodus' 12th studio album, released March 20th, 2026. From Rob Dukes' best vocal performance to date, to production complaints, AI art controversy, and a track-by-track breakdown. We cover it all.
I've been a fan of Exodus since discovering Fabulous Disaster back in 1989, so this one is personal. Whether you're a longtime fan or just getting into thrash metal, stick around for the full breakdown.
