Top-charting originators of thrash EXODUS have emerged hungrier than ever in 2026. Resurging at full force with their 12th studio album and Napalm Records debut, Goliath (out March 20, 2026), the band reinforces their eternal foothold at the top of thrash metal's hierarchy with 10 of their most diverse, anthemic emissions to date. Further fueled by the widely embraced return of iconic late-era frontman Rob Dukes – first appearing on 2005’s Shovel Headed Kill Machine – the album boasts what the band describes as the performance of his life. Goliath is EXODUS’ most collaborative record in their four decade-plus history, featuring songs written by several band members and guest contributions from Peter Tägtgren (Hypocrisy, Pain) and violinist Katie Jacoby.

Critically acclaimed Death Metal force TEMPLE OF VOID return with their new album, The Crawl. The caveman brawn of previous albums, namely Summoning the Slayer (2022), remains, but there's a wider dynamic on the group's fifth full-length album at play. Now a Quartet the Michiganders aren't shying away from their non-metal influences, seeking greater integration of grunge and post-punk with their brutish signature. Singles "The Crawl" and "Soulburn" demonstrate the proficiency of TEMPLE OF VOID's death-cloaked, spearheaded attack. From the high intensity of opener "Poison Icon" to the granite wall of "The Twin Stranger," The Crawl isn't just TEMPLE OF VOID evolved, it's a harbinger of death metal to come.
