Think you know why Rob Dukes is back in Exodus? Think again. After a decade of silence, the most polarizing frontman in thrash reveals the “blessing in disguise” that changed his life and why he almost didn’t pick up the phone. Stop buying the label-approved script; the real story involves a welding torch, a grudge that lasted years, and a riff Gary Holt sat on for three decades.
