Exodus have never pulled punches, and this 2023 shaped picture disc proves they’ve still got more venom to spit. Featuring two tracks from their 2021 scorcher Persona Non Grata — the pissed-off, politically charged “Clickbait” and the apocalyptic mid-tempo ripper “The Years Of Death And Dying” — this record is as much a visual assault as it is an aural one. Released on Church Of Vinyl (CHURCH090), this shaped vinyl is a collector’s dream and a thrash fan’s trophy.

“Clickbait” rages against the mind-numbing stupidity of modern media, powered by Gary Holt’s chainsaw riffage and Steve “Zetro” Souza’s savage delivery. Flip it over and “The Years Of Death And Dying” hits a darker, heavier groove — a slow-burning sermon of doom with Exodus’ trademark razor-edged execution. These aren’t B-sides or leftovers — these are two prime cuts of Exodus’ modern era, captured here on a stunning shaped picture disc that demands a place on your altar of riffs.

The packaging is just as killer: a high-quality PVC sleeve, inlay, and that grotesque, war-torn artwork drenched in red and crawling with bodies. Oh yeah — each copy is hand-numbered, which means once it’s gone, it’s gone. No represses. No second chances. This is pure, limited-edition thrash metal carnage, pressed in Germany and ready to melt your face.

Whether you’re spinning it loud or worshipping it on the wall, Clickbait is a brutal reminder that Exodus are still one of the most dangerous names in thrash metal. This one is for the true disciples — don’t miss it.
