San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans EXODUS released their new album, "Persona Non Grata", on November 19 via Nuclear Blast Records.
"Persona Non Grata" is the follow-up to 2014's "Blood In Blood Out", which was the San Francisco Bay Area thrashers' first release since the departure of the group's lead singer of nine years, Rob Dukes, and the return of Steve "Zetro" Souza, who previously fronted EXODUS from 1986 to 1993 and from 2002 to 2004.
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
