Exodus is the unsung hero of the thrash metal genre. They didn’t get a spot in the vaunted “Big Four” of the genre, but that doesn’t really matter, it’s the music that matters. With their new album Persona Non Grata out now, the band is heading out on tour to support Testament on the Bay Strikes Back Tour.

Gary Holt, lead guitarist for Exodus, had this to say about the new video.

Time for our next video. This one is for “The Fires of Division” and it actually has the band in it! This video was super fun to make, as it was the first time the band had gathered together in some time! And it’s also pre-order kick-off day for our new picture disc, limited to 2800 units worldwide, and our yellow-tinted cassette limited to 300! SICK!

Like he said, they’re launching pre-orders for two new exclusive Persona Non Grata products. The first is a limited edition picture LP, limited to 2800 units, which is only available in the US and Europe. The other is a yellow-tinted cassette that’s only available in the US and limited to 300 units. You can pre-order either at Exodus’ website.
