Appears like third time’s the allure now that ex-Exodus singer Steve ‘Zetro‘ Souza has known as it quits for the third time with the metallic band.
“This was the third time that I had joined the band, so I believe it will be a bit redundant to strive to do that once more,” Zetro revealed on his most up-to-date episode of Zetro’s Poisonous Vault (as transcribed by Blabbermouth). He was joined by co-host – and longtime buddy – Walter Morgan, the place they mentioned Zetro‘s third, and closing, departure from Exodus.
Although he confused it did not matter to him what the general public thought occurred concerning his departure, whether or not he was give up or let go, however quite approached it from a special angle.
Zetro was knowledgeable by his son that Exodus guitarist Gary Holt had clarified to the general public that Zetro had been let go, and that he did not truly give up. Quite than assembly that sort of declare with malice, on Zetro’s Poisonous Vault, Zetro truly agreed: “I’ve to agree together with his analogy. Being in a band is sort of a marriage – it actually is – and the wedding was over… I used to be by no means gonna give up, that means possibly I assumed I’d by no means depart the wedding… however I really assume that it was in all probability the best factor for me particularly, and I hope it is the best factor for them as effectively.”
And Exodus has had a quite lengthy, and complex, historical past with Zetro – effectively, truly, with all of their lead singers. Paul Baloff was lead singer from 1983 till 1987, when Steve Souza was onboarded. Then, Souza remained the lead singer till the band’s hiatus in 1994. In 1997, Baloff reunites Exodus members once more earlier than Baloff‘s passing in 2002 the place Souza returned to fill Baloff’s slot on Exodus‘ then-upcoming tour and left shortly thereafter. Rob Dukes took over as vocalist from 2005 till 2014, earlier than Souza crammed in for a closing time from 2014 till 2025. Now, Rob Dukes is frontman. You continue to with me?
Nevertheless, Zetro stresses that “Gary Holt does not know find out how to write a shitty riff,” and that followers will proceed to get to get pleasure from “Rob‘s period.”
