"Exodus with Rob Dukes is a whole 'nother beast. "3111" marks the vocalist's return to the fold after last appearing on an album in 2010, and what a return it is. On a song that's about narco killings in Juarez, Dukes gives a sufficiently menacing performance that's startlingly unhinged. The other members of Exodus said Dukes gave "the performance of his life" on the band's upcoming album"
"- incredibly high praise to receive from your bandmates - and "3111" certainly hints at something special from the singer who took over for longtime frontman Steve Souza earlier this year. The rest of the band also sounds inspired here, with Gary Holt bringing over some evil Slayer riffs to vary up the band's otherwise blistering thrash attack. Honorable Mentions: Def Leppard"
Exodus' single "3111" features Rob Dukes returning to the band after last appearing on an album in 2010 with a menacing, startlingly unhinged vocal. The song centers on narco killings in Juarez and elicits praise from bandmates who called Dukes' contribution "the performance of his life." The rest of the band sounds inspired, with Gary Holt adding evil Slayer-like riffs to diversify the band's blistering thrash attack. Dukes took over for longtime frontman Steve Souza earlier this year. Honorable mentions include Def Leppard's arena-ready "Rejoice" and Joel Hoekstra's melodic rocker "Lifeline" featuring Vinny Appice and Jeff Scott Soto.
