Last month, thrash metal greats Exodus made a surprise announcement saying they had parted ways with longtime singer Steve “Zetro” Souza. The singer had two lengthy stints with the band and appeared on most of their best-known albums.
“Announcement! EXODUS have parted ways with Steve “Zetro” Souza,” the band wrote. “We thank Steve for his years fronting the band and all the killer music we made during that time.” Exodus also announced that the singer who originally replaced Souza back in 2004, Rob Dukes, would be returning to the fold.
Zetro revealed he had been “let go” while interacting with fans on Instagram. “I was let go, if you read the statement it says Exodus has parted ways , not Zetro has parted ways!” he wrote to one fan. Another follower asked: “Why did you leave Exodus” to which he replied: “I did not leave , I was let go !! EXODUS parted ways with Zetro”.
Guitarist Gary Holt was asked by a fan on Instagram why Zetro was dismissed. “If I told you you’d understand,” Holt wrote. “I’ve no desire to talk badly about him. It’s a marriage, being in a band. Behind closed doors, the marriage was done and over”.
