Time will tell, blood will flow and money will talk.

– INFERNO ON STAGE! LEGANDARY THRASH METAL ICONS EXODUS PROMISE TO GIVE THE INFERNO AUDIENCE A REAL ASS-BEATING WHEN RETURNING TO NORWAY! VOCALIST STEVE “ZETRO” SOUZA IS ON FIRE AND CAN'T WAIT TO BE A PART OF INFERNO METAL FESTIVAL 2016! ith Steve "Zetro" Souza rejoining the ranks of Exodus for the "Blood In, Blood Out" album, the band sounds as heavy and pissed off as on their debut album, released over three decades ago. It makes you wonder if the band have found a secret fountain of youth to keep them on the edge?

"Zetro" himself reveals some of their inner secrets.

W

30

W W W.I NFER NOFESTI VA L.NET

- The secret fountain of youth is to musically keep that way. Our sort of music isn't necessarily to relax to. We don’t have any slow songs and there is no ballads. When you come see Exodus, we’re gonna give you at least 90 minutes of asswhipping songs.

We don't bring it down for a minute. There is no lighters or hands waving back and forth at our shows. And to be able to do that, you

“WHEN YOU COME SEE EXODUS, WE´RE GONNA GIVE YOU AT LEAST 90 MINUTES OF ASSWHIPPING SONGS” – STEVE "ZETRO" SOUZA have to keep the mental at to that kind of music. The music moves me and makes me want to kick ass. Mentally is where it matters, forever young in mind. After 30 years, on our tenth album, we released a very brutal record and I don't think we're gonna lighten up any time soon. "Blood In, Blood Out" is my favorite Exodus album. I feel that the songs, the lyrical content, the musicianship and the attack is by far the best it has ever been.

Exodus have stayed true to the thrash formula that spawned in the early Bay Area scene. How does this music fit in with the

current musical landscape?

- The music is timeless, and heavy metal never goes away. "Bonded By Blood" is as relevant today as it was back when it came out, because of the violence and brutality of it all. Name another genre of music from the 80s that people clammer to and still get a hold of. "Blood In, Blood Out" charted in America, higher than it's ever had. A new record of a band that is 30 years old. What other forms of music does that? Only metal.

The audience is genuine. You don't show shit down their throats and go "hey, you got to like this!". You either like metal, or you

W W W.I NFER NOFESTI VA L.NET

31

“WE CAN´T WAIT TO GET BACK TO NORWAY. OSLO IS IN TROUBLE. INFERNO FESTIVAL, WE'RE GONNA BURN THAT SHIT DOWN!” don't. Metal will always stand strong, with the most loyal fans in the world.

The release of "Blood In, Blood Out" has been followed by extensive touring, and when Inferno calls up "Zetro", Exodus have just finished a tour in South America and started preparing the conquering of Europe.

- South America is always great! They are really receptive fans. They love their thrash metal, and are probably the most ferocious crowd in the world. The fans are crazy everywhere, but down there especially.

They don't get tired, so we love going there.

But touring and playing live is great everywhere. We do Europe three times this year, on three separate tours. America isn't even our home anymore. Europe, South America and all the other places are our home, it

seems like. I have a great job. I get to go on – STEVE "ZETRO" SOUZA stage and go off for an hour and a half a day

32

W W W.I NFER NOFESTI VA L.NET

and have all those people react to it. I love to play live and I love that our crowd, our fans and our genre of music become as just as part of the show as the band does. It's great to look out from my view of the stage and watch what they are doing. There are no crowds in the world that are like the thrash metal crowd.

Since founding member and guitarist, Gary Holt, has also become a regular member of Slayer, does this make touring difficult for Exodus?

- Gary Holt has been replaced by Kragen Lum for the most part since my return, because of Slayers touring schedule and "Repentless" coming out as well. And we

love that Gary is in Slayer. What would life be like without Slayer? Think about it. Slayer is like my favorite band, even before he was in it, so we love that connection. But Gary is not going anywhere. Exodus is Gary Holt.

He has always been there for every record.

He is the main songwriter, and the drive to Exodus. It would be sacrilege to work without him in that compacity. But we have to play and tour as well.

Now that the main songwriter for Exodus is also occupied with slayer, will that force the rest of the band to be more involved in the composing of the next album?

- In the past I have written a lot of the lyrics. On "Pleasures of the Flesh", "Fabulous Disaster" and "Force of Habit" it was probably 50/50 me and Gary. "Tempo of the Damned", I wrote two of them on that. And then on the latest one, I did write "Body Harvest" along with Jack and Lee. I wrote the lyrics to that.

But the music and lyrics were already finished, and Gary is brilliant with both. He is a great lyricist. His subjects are awesome. His metaphors are really great. He is the real deal, so I trust it and I love it. I will totally write but I trust his musicianship and where he is going with this. He invented this. I was here when the thrash metal started. I was in the Bay Area in 1980. I saw the bands that spawned, and Exodus was the first.

With ten albums to pick songs from, how difficult is it to make a setlist that is enjoyable to both the band and the fans?

- I think that the songs that we choose to play live are actually the ones that both we and the fans like the most. Obviously, with ten records, you can’t play everything in one

night, so we try to pick the essence of it.

"Salt to Wounds", "Body Harvest", the ones that stand out. We open with "Black 13" and go into "Blood In, Blood Out". I think that sets the tone. Then we kick your ass with some "Bonded by Blood". It’s just an ass-beating all night long! I love everything we have done. My favorite song is "Deliver Us To Evil" and we don't even play that in our current live set. I was a fan of the band when they put out "Bonded by Blood". I was in Legacy, now Testament, back then,. We were all trying to emulate Exodus, so when I got to sing those songs every night, I was happier than a pig in shit. In my eyes Exodus doesn't have a shitty song. Even the albums that I didn't sing on are awesome. My favorite song of the Rob Dykes era is "The Ballad of Leonard and Charles". I love that song to death. But of course you would like to play all those classics that the fans want to hear.

So what can the audience expect from an Exodus performance in 2016?

- An inferno on stage! It’s a perfect name.

The best live show from Exodus that they will see for ever. I guarantee that. We go out and kick their ass every night. I go out to score goals in soccer, and I score goals every night. Total sports mentality. Give me the ball, and I will put it in the net. We kill every night. Kill, kill, kill! That’s the way to go. There is nothing like some sweaty motherfucker two inches from my face, and the pit piled on, singing our songs.

We can’t wait to get back to Norway. Oslo is in trouble. Inferno festival, we're gonna burn that shit down!
