Exodus likes to keep busy with lots of material in the works

Exodus has disclosed that they have been producing enough material for two albums in their current studio sessions. Fans shouldn’t anticipate a double album or the simultaneous release of both endeavors, though. Gary Holt, the band’s guitarist, discussed their recording experience so far during an appearance on The Chuck Shute Podcast.

We’ve been in the studio for two weeks now. Tom‘s wrapping up drums. We’ve set ourselves an ambitious goal on this record. We’re recording two albums right now. We are a couple of songs shy from hitting our total goal of having two albums of crushing material. No filler. We figured if we have the songs, let’s record ’em. And when it’s time to release the follow-up, it’s done, it’s in the can. The chances are by the time we get to that point, I’ll have new stuff that has to be included: ‘Oh, this is so good.’ But then we go into the studio for two weeks, not two months.

Looks like they thought of the plan for releasing these records.

We’ll keep [the second new album] in the can, ready to go, and won’t have any downtime. We’re not getting any younger. We might as well work a little extra hard now while we can.

But it won’t be until 2026 that we get to hear their new music.

We’re shooting for a spring release of next year — like late winter, spring. We were hoping to get it done this year, get it out this year, but we would have had to rush it. And since we’re trying to record 20 to 22 songs and we needed the time, it’s gonna be worth it in the end. And the shit is fucking phenomenal.
