Bay Area thrash titans Exodus are celebrating Blood In, Blood Out’s stellar Top 40 Billboard debut with the release of their brand new music video for the title track, "Blood In, Blood Out", directed by Shan Dan Horan of the Shadow Born Group (Buckcherry, Carnifex, Winds Of Plague). The video features hundreds of dedicated Bay Area fans that came out in droves to perform as extras in the video after a wide casting call.

“"Blood In, Blood Out" was exactly the kind of video we wanted and needed to make… unbridled energy, violence, blood and our Bay Area friends and family at the center of attention! Just as they should be,” states Exodus guitarist Gary Holt. “I hate making videos and this one was so much fun, I actually caught myself saying things I never would say before! ‘Let's run through it again!’”

Exodus vocalist Steve “Zetro” Souza adds, “Typical and sheer violence, straight up aggressive and in your fucking face! Watching this video kind of reminds me of Fight Club, but awesome action and awesome violence, perfect for the title track of the new Exodus album Blood In, Blood Out!”

“Directing this music video has been a pleasure. Having the task to find hundreds of metal heads to fill up a dark room with very limited time seemed like a tough task,” begins director Shan Dan Horan. “What I found however, was an overwhelming response from some of the most positive and energetic fans I've ever met. I feel honored to have played a small role in that. Old metalheads, young ones, to even a guy that showed up in his wheelchair. The fact of the matter is everyone was accepted and everyone picked up their brethren when they would fall in the pit. To me that's what "Blood In, Blood Out" is about. While we all come from different backgrounds - once a metal head, always a metal head. That's something that stays in your blood.”

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!

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.
