For Immediate Release: Oct 2, 2026 | Walnut Creek, CA: KnuckleBonz® today announces an official collaboration with Exodus to bring the Bay Area thrash pioneers into KnuckleBonz360™ BackStage Experience, a first-of-its-kind immersive 3D digital platform launching October 2026.
“I've seen a lot of strange things in 45 years of thrash, but walking around the 360 District next to a giant Goliath and a 3D version of myself is pretty cool. Fans are going to lose their minds when they check out this 3D world," says Gary Holt, guitarist of Exodus.
KnuckleBonz360™ is a digital platform featuring immersive 3D worlds built to celebrate the iconic imagery of great bands and artists. With 20+ band worlds launching in 2026, KnuckleBonz360™ BackStage Experience gives fans a place to connect with other fans, play mini-games, shop for exclusive collectibles, explore and see album art come to life.
"Exodus wrote the rulebook for Bay Area thrash, and more than four decades later the band still hits harder than anyone," says Tony Simerman, CEO and Creative Director of KnuckleBonz, Inc. He adds, "The first time our team watched Goliath stomp through the 360 District, the whole studio stopped working. Now fans get that same jolt, and they can stand face to face with Gary Holt in 3D."
The Exodus Experience in KnuckleBonz360 is developed by a team of incredibly talented artists, engineers and enthusiastic music superfans. The creators are also fans! Exodus fans worldwide can come together in KnuckleBonz360 to celebrate the band.
Fans will enter the Exodus Experience and explore the world of the band that helped ignite the Bay Area thrash scene, from the pit-born violence of Bonded by Blood to the crushing weight of the band's latest album, Goliath. Iconic Exodus album imagery comes to life across the experience, and Goliath himself occasionally roams the streets in the 360 District and towering over every fan in his path.
Gary Holt joins the 360 District as a featured artist, rendered in 3D so fans can meet one of thrash metal's most ferocious guitarists inside the platform.
The Exodus Experience in KnuckleBonz360 will feature digital collectibles, physical collectibles including the KnuckleBonz Gary Holt statue, and merch that ships worldwide. This multi-player world allows Exodus fans to connect and explore together. The experience launches October 2026.
