Exodus reveal new LP ‘Persona Non Grata’ + song “The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)”

Bay Area thrash metal legends Exodus have announced their new album by the name of ‘Persona Non Grata,’ which releases on November 19th, 2021 through Nuclear Blast Records (pre-order, pre-save).

For a first taste of the impending new full-length offering, scroll down below for new video single titled “The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves).” The clip was written and directed by BJ McDonnell and produced by James A Rota.

Guitarist Gary Holt comments, “After what seems like an eon, we now have the debut of our first single, ‘The Beatings Will Continue (Until Morale Improves)’. I’m so jacked up for this and the release of Persona Non Grata! Let’s get the bloodletting started!”

A presser adds, “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.”
