Former Exodus vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza claims he was fired from the band
Jorge L. GonzΓ‘lez Guerra
Last month California thrash metal veterans Exodus announced the departure of long running vocalist Steve "Zetro" Souza and welcomed back former frontman Rob Dukes.
Souza has yet to make a full public statement regarding the split, he did take to the comment section of Instagram to answer fans questions about the switch.
On a recent post on Souza's personal account (posted below), a user asked for a statement from the former singer to which he responded:
Really no statement, I was let go , if you read the statement it says EXODUS has parted ways , not Zetro has parted ways !
Another user asked why Souza left, to which he clarified:
I did not leave , I was let go !! Exodus parted ways with Zetro
Souza, who originally joined Exodus in 1986 and remained until 1993, had a notable history with the band. He returned briefly from 2002-2004 before Rob Dukes took over as frontman. Dukes held the position for nearly a decade until Souza rejoined in 2014.

Bortslob got tricked into supporting a authoritarian, 'dOnT tReAd oN m3'
^Trump won pussy, not a fΓ»cking thing you can do about it. Especially with those limp wrists. ππ
Quite possibly the ugliest frontman ever next to King Fowley.
They kicked him out cuz of the third person references. Sounds like a gay caveman
Retard TrUMpWun! Bits aside, this guy is a fully brain damaged Maga chud and holt is a libtard. Both losers have to virtue signal completely different audiences now. That's why
Think what they don't tell you , they parted ways for a political reason !! We thought thrash was for the strong minds and independent thinkers , but others in the band think different , real different !! They bow down to kings and suck the dick of their lord , tell me that's thrash , f*cking TELL ME !!
Exodus with Rob Dukes sucks. The albums he's on aren't even listenable.

Also, the words you wrote sound really, really gay .
Thrash aint gay brother , that's for sure , it's an honor to ride with my brothers thru this journey of LIFE !! if you don't understand that then you are absolutely f*cked in the head !!
You sound like someone who is culturally rooted in the 1970s and 1980s. That social world is dead. You are an unironic caricature of a bygone era, and you belong in a local dive bar that has looked the same for the past 50 years, not on this website.
Take your French typing conventions and stick them up your ass, old man.

The old school trash guys are really embarrassing. Not just the dudes in bands, but the fans who talk like this and say shit like "put em in the poser disposer!" and actually refer to "moshing" as "the toxic waltz," without any sense of irony. It's f*cking sad.
You know what is truely embarrassing is political bias and ageism in our scene . You have no respect . Your generation didn't have to invent anything just copy paste and use computers and technology to enhance enhance enhance ! Can your guys even f*cking play your f*cking instrument with out a backing track ??? Your hero's are no different then Spice Girls or Christina Agulera . Just some lip ( or should I say hand ) synq bitches . They will never be better than the originals . Your a bunch of sissies .
20 bucks says this dude wouldn't be able to rip a set with a click, that's why he's so mad that other bands layer backing tracks. Also "enhance enhance enhance" Do you even know how music recording works now?? There never is or was an enhance button. And your generation did everything without tech, ours figured out how to use tech to our advantage and used it to improve and spread awareness of heavy music. Sounds like you're just pissed cause you didn't grow up with a recording daw.
If your demos weren't recorded with a fostex four track then I don't want to hear it

Also, learn how to spell and punctuate. And learn how recording works, too, f*cktard.
Whoa whoa whoa here everyone....let's remember the big picture here: thrash metal is children's music for retards
Zetro ain't missing much with Exodus these days; Gary Holt's probably still sitting by the phone waiting for Kerry to call for Slayer's 15th reunion...

Pick up a guitar and learn how to be a musician vs sitting behind a screen and punching shit into a computer. At best, you're a DJ. Just hit play
anyone with half a brain can play to a click - they teach you that in 4th grade numbnuts
" ^ lol gtfo grampy" Dis bitch couldn't work a 4 track to save his life
"Old man yells at sad cloud" You do realize that you will get old someday right? Unless you OD first, which, if you are like much of your generation you have a good chance of doing so
Mr crying about ageism 'these days' is simultaneously insulting people with generational stereo types. Looks like a real smart intelligent man
"β¦and spread awareness of heavy music." Who honestly gives a shit about that?
These old farts killed metal and thrash in the bay over the last 30 years successfully. Never put any up and coming bands that wasn't a result of nepotism . If you didn't dick ride them they wouldn't work with you mentality. Love seeing these types of people and bands crash and burn and make wave for their replacements. This era of members only metal is coming to an abrupt halt . Nobody, and I mean nobody cares about what you did yesterday it's about today now.
Dis bitch couldn't work a 4 track to save his life Probably couldn't operate a horse and buggy, either.

Shit overrated band that has always sucked. Their entire claim to fame is their first singer was a big bully and Kirk Hammet was in the band for 30 secs. Bonded By Blood sounds like ass and Baloff vox are awful and way too upfront in thw mix. Everything after that has been nonsense. Gary can't write riffs that have an end contrary to popular belief and his headbanging style is uber gay.
