Exodus frontman Steve "Zetro" Souza recently spoke to All Shook Down about the band's jam-packed itinerary, how Exodus works around guitarist Gary Holt's commitments with Slayer and plans for Hatriot, the band he fronts with his two sons Cody and Nick Souza. In the following except he talks about the tour with King Diamond:

Q: Are you changing up the setlist from what you were doing on the Dark Roots II tour?

A: “Most definitely. Oh yeah. We’ve got a few surprises for the fans. We’ve gone through the states twice opening with Black 13 and Blood In Blood Out, so we’re changing it up a little bit. I want to hold of on the specifics, because it’s going to be kind of cool.”

Q: You’re also booking some headlining gigs as the upcoming schedule with King Diamond allows. We talked about this before, but do you foresee playing a headlining show in San Francisco after? Maybe December when everyone is back off the road?

A: “We have been talking about that. We haven’t played a headlining show in SF since I came back in the band. But these are the tours that have come up, so every time we’re back in the Bay Area, we’ve been taken away by something else. So we’ve never been able to book the headlining local show. But we have to. We haven’t even done the States headlining necessarily yet. We’ve been filling in the dates where we can. We did the same thing when we were with Slayer, but we haven’t done a full-blown headlining Exodus tour. So we’re definitely talking about that. We’re busy! You’ve got to keep busy.”
