In April of this year, dyed-in-the-wool thrashers EXODUS toured South America . Now fans are granted the chance to be close to the thrashing on- and off-stage action – through a two-part "Desperados Stagedive Special" on TV music channel VIVA!

The show's host Carlos Martinez reports exclusively as part of EXODUS' road crew. Straight through the jungle they make their way to the rock clubs of Sao Paulo , Buenos Aires and Chile , including trips to desert islands, ray fishing and much more.
