{"product_id":"diskheaven-165024651","title":"Exodus \/ Persona non grata","description":"\u003cp\u003eCatalog number: GQCS-91097\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eExodus needs no introduction; they are the kings of the thrash metal world, or rather, they can be said to be the creators of the thrash metal genre itself. This is the band that produced Kirk Hammett in the first place, and many people testify that Exodus was the band that set the tone for early Metallica. Their debut album, Bonded by Blood, released in 1985, is often cited as the best thrash metal album in history.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNow, Exodus will release their long-awaited new album, \"Persona Non Grata.\" It's been 7 years since ``Blood In, Blood Out'' in 2014. The title ``persona non grata'' is a Latin word meaning ``undesirable person'' and is a diplomatic term usually used when refusing entry to a diplomat.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe vocalist is once again Steve \"Zetro\" Souza. This work was recorded by building a studio in the mountain house where Tom Hunting (Dr.) lives and living there. Even when they weren't recording, they were having repeated discussions together, so the density of this work is quite extraordinary. From an almost 8-minute epic to just 3 minutes of straight-up thrash, it's packed full of Exodus-style heavy thrash metal. It's so aggressive that after listening to the album you feel a pleasant feeling of fatigue. A clear yet powerful mix by the familiar Andy Sneap is also wonderful.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e``I'm Exodus' biggest fan. We write songs that make us feel fired up. That's why it's so heavy!'' Gary Holt (guitar) is also pleased with the result of this work. A must-listen for metal fans!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[Member]\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eGary Holt (guitar)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTom Hunting (drums)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSteve \"Zetro\" Sousa (vocals)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJack Gibson (bass)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLee Altus (guitar)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e[CD] [2021\/11\/19]\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MochiobaseCD","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67831376314672,"sku":"GQCS-91097","price":37.74,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0820\/6585\/0672\/files\/165024651.jpg?v=1790125753","url":"https:\/\/mochiobasecd.com\/products\/diskheaven-165024651","provider":"MochiobaseCD","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
