Legendary thrash metal vocalist Steve 'Zetro' Souza , best known as the iconic voice behind Exodus, is set to deliver a unique and unforgettable show in São Paulo, Brazil, on September 14, 2025 . This special performance marks a celebration of the 20th anniversary of the classic Exodus album Tempo of the Damned (2004) and promises a historic setlist that thrash fans have never seen before.
Following his recent departure from Exodus, Zetro has chosen a more intimate approach for his solo career. Instead of lengthy, grueling tours, he will embark on a selective series of shows across Latin America —handpicking the band's lineup and setlist for each performance. The tour kicks off on September 4th in San José, Costa Rica, and will wrap up in São Paulo, Brazil, at the legendary Burning House venue.
Produced by Dark Dimensions , the São Paulo show is poised to be the highlight of the tour for Brazilian fans, offering a rare chance to witness the living thrash metal legend perform a career-spanning set.
What makes this tour truly special is the carefully curated setlist , featuring about 16 to 17 songs with many Zetro has never performed live before . The vocalist promises fans a deep dive into his extensive career, with rare tracks from his time with:
Legacy (the band that eventually evolved into Testament)
Hatriot
Unexplored Exodus material
Personal tribute songs honoring AC/DC’s Bon Scott via his project AC/DZ
Zetro guarantees that only about four songs in the setlist are familiar live staples, making this a unique live experience that transcends the usual greatest hits format.
Supporting Zetro is the band Slikk Wikked , composed of seasoned musicians from the American underground metal scene:
Zakk Frye (guitar and vocals)
Kyle Smith (guitar)
Andrew Dewar (drums)
Donny "Death" Weissinger (bass)
Together, they aim to deliver a powerful 90-minute show where heavy riffs and nostalgia collide , bringing the raw energy and passion that thrash metal fans crave.
Zetro has expressed that this new phase of his career is about reconnecting with fans on a more personal and direct level , free from the constraints and pressures of major tours.
“I want to play the songs that I know the fans love and have never had the chance to hear live. This tour is for them, it's out of respect for the history we've built together.” – Steve 'Zetro' Souza
This heartfelt approach underlines the tour’s intention: to create unique memories and celebrate a legacy together with those who have supported him throughout the decades.
