Exodus' new album Blood In, Blood Out, has charted at #38 on the US Billboard Top 200 charts in its first week. This comes in at a staggering 76 charting spots higher and nearly double the sales above the band’s last release in 2010. This concretes Blood In, Blood Out’s status as the band’s highest-charting album to date. The new album also is charting at #2 on the Hard Rock/Metal charts and #6 on the Independent charts.

Blood In, Blood Out has also debuted at #29 in Germany, #30 in Finland, #30 in Switzerland, #38 in Austria, #38 in the Czech Republic, #72 in the UK, #75 in France, #85 in the Netherlands, and #101 overall, #86 on Top Current Albums,  and #6 on Hard Music charts in Canada. This includes some territories that Exodus has never charted in before!

Exodus lead vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza states, “I’m very stoked and excited to see that Exodus has charted at #38. This band being around over 30 years and being on our 10th album, this is truly amazing. I’m excited for our management, I’m excited for our record label, I’m excited for our booking agency, and I’m excited for everyone else in the staff. I’m mostly excited for all of our fans who have supported us over the years through thick and thin – I’m glad you’re all still here. We’re all very proud to have you as our fans, and when you come out to see us live, we will not disappoint you. You are truly our inspiration and we will keep doing this for as long as we can bang out heads. Thanks everyone.”

“Exodus could not be any more excited about the awesome chart positions Blood In, Blood Out has achieved,” adds Exodus guitarist Gary Holt. “This is in many ways a milestone record for us, and for it to be so embraced by the metal world is quite simply amazing! We worked our asses off and people have responded in a way we only dreamed of! Thanks to all our fans for making this happen!”

Exodus co-manager Maria Ferrero of Breaking Bands LLC and Adrenaline PR states,  “Breaking records… breaking barriers… on  behalf of  Breaking Bands LLC  I am proud to  see Exodus,  my  long-time  friends of  31 years  get  the  recognition that they deserve. To finally see Kirk Hammett record with his first band is just the icing on the cake. The team kicked ass. The reviews have been amazing and the fans stepping up to take action with their unwavering support speaks volumes. The fans don’t lie! This is a great day for thrash metal. It is my honor to protect, promote and support such an iconic band.”

Exodus co-manager at Breaking Bands LLC and Testament vocalist Chuck Billy adds, “The Breaking Bands LLC team is very proud to be a part of the success of the new Exodus album Blood In, Blood Out. The band has worked very hard to deliver a monster of a record that is shaking up the metal community. We would like to congratulate the band and wish them continued success on their world domination. They should be very proud of their accomplishment for kicking the door down in a declining music industry. Great job, boys. Let the Exodus Attack begin.”

Produced by Andy Sneap (Accept, Kreator, Megadeth), Blood In, Blood Out marks the first release with returning vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza since 2004’s Tempo Of The Damned, and features cover illustration by Swedish artist Par Olofsson.
