Goliath is the thirteenth studio album from Exodus, the American thrash metal band, released on 20 March 2026. It follows Persona Non Grata from 2021 and continues a run of records that stretches back to Bonded by Blood in 1985.

The record brings Rob Dukes back on vocals for the first time since Exhibit B: The Human Condition in 2010, which will matter to anyone who loved the band's mid-2000s run with him, from Shovel Headed Kill Machine through Let There Be Blood. It is also the first Exodus album released through Napalm Records, who signed the band in 2023. For long-time followers, it is a chance to hear a familiar voice return to a long-running thrash name.
