Exodus - Three New Music Videos Completed for 2025 Album

Exodus have announced that they have already completed three brand-new music videos for their upcoming studio album, expected to arrive next spring through Napalm Records. The clips were directed by Jim Louvau, the Phoenix-based visual artist behind the band’s previous video for “The Fires Of Division” from 2021’s “Persona Non Grata”.

The band shared a photo on December 12 from their “post-video shoot wrap dinner” in Tempe, Arizona, writing: “Three days, three videos done, and they're gonna be sick as fuck. Seriously sick. We couldn’t be happier, and we HATE making videos! Jim Louvau makes it fun for all of us!”

Guitarist Gary Holt recently confirmed that the band’s completed album will likely be released on March 20 and referred to it as “fucking awesome… so awesome… we’re so proud of this record.” According to Holt, Exodus recorded nearly two albums’ worth of material during the sessions, with roughly 80% of the follow-up already completed.

Holt explained that the band lived and worked together intensively throughout the writing and recording process, describing the experience as “heavy metal summer camp.” He praised guitarist Lee Altus, who contributed four of the ten songs on the new record. The band emphasized that selection for the album was difficult due to the strength of the material.

The return of vocalist Rob Dukes has also played a major part in the band’s renewed energy. Holt stated that Dukes’ performance on the forthcoming album is “amazing” and said fans will “shit their pants” when they hear him on the new material. Dukes himself said the songs represent his best work with the band to date, praising the darker, faster, and more experimental elements found across the record.

The new album marks the first time since 1997 that Exodus have worked with a mixer other than Andy Sneap. Instead, Mark Lewis — known for his work with Megadeth, Whitechapel, DevilDriver, and Bad Wolves — handled mixing duties. Holt noted that Sneap encouraged the band to step outside their comfort zone, resulting in a powerful and fresh production approach.

As anticipation builds, Exodus continue to celebrate their legacy as pioneers of American thrash metal. Their landmark debut “Bonded By Blood” helped shape the genre and influenced bands like Testament, Death Angel, and Vio-Lence. With Dukes back in the lineup and a massive new record ready to drop, the band’s next era is shaping up to be one of their strongest yet.

No tour dates announced yet.

LUCIFER’S FALL Announce Reunion, New Drummer & New Material in 2026

Image
Australian doom hammer strikes again — after more than two years of silence, LUCIFER’S FALL have officially reunited. One of the most uncompromising doom forces from the southern hemisphere, the band announced their resurrection through a series of raw, old-school updates that sent longtime followers into a frenzy. And in pure underground fashion, they’re not easing into it — the group is already preparing for studio action with a brand-new drummer whose identity remains shrouded in mystery. The first strike came on December 9th, when the band declared themselves “back as a recording entity,” signalling the return of core members Deceiver, Invocator, Heretic and Cursed Priestess. For collectors and doom lifers who’ve been spinning their earlier releases on repeat, this was the moment many hoped for — a promise that the bleak fire of traditional doom still burns in Adelaide. Then, on December 12th, the band doubled down: rehearsals are set for early next year, starting with...

MÜTIILATION Announces New Album “Pandemonium of Egregores” for December 2025

Image
Some announcements hit harder than others — and this one shakes the very bones of the underground. After decades of silence broken only by scattered manifestations, the unholy French Black Metal pioneer MÜTIILATION has returned with a new full-length: PANDEMONIUM OF EGREGORES , arriving December 26th, 2025. For those who have walked alongside MEYHNACH since the cursed dawn of the 1990s — through the Black Legions era, the darkness of MAJESTAS LEPROSUS , the deranged introspection of RATTENKÖNIG , the atmospheric death haze of SORROW GALAXIES — this moment feels surreal. The myth was supposed to remain buried. The stench of death was supposed to be final. Yet here we stand, welcoming the seventh son of a band that defined an entire underground ethos. In his own words, MEYHNACH writes: “This entity, buried but not dead, whose return you hoped for but no longer expected, has just given birth to its seventh son… The black metal cult is alive, keep an eye opened.” ...

Image
⛤ Death Metal | 40.50€ (Mint) ⛤ Pulse Rating: 9.5 / 10 🛒 Check this item in stock 📧 Order Now When it comes to blasphemous, larger-than-life death metal, Vital Remains stands like a titan, and their masterwork "Dechristianize" is nothing short of colossal. As a die-hard metalhead and the proud curator of Pulse Records, my heart races every time I drop the needle on this iconic album. Finally, with the 2024 2xLP orange/black marble reissue from Listenable Records , "Dechristianize" gets the reverence it has always deserved. Let’s not kid ourselves; Dave Suzuki is the heart and soul of this record. It’s almost unbelievable to think about how much of this album he single-handedly crafted. The drumming, guitar leads, bass lines, and relentless lyrics shout out his obsessive commitment at every turn. Songs that stretch into epics of nine minutes or more — this is what Vital Remains does best. You’ll find yourself humming these riffs in...
