Nuclear Blast Records has pushed back the European release date of "Exhibit B: The Human Condition", the ninth studio album from San Francisco Bay Area thrash metal veterans Exodus, to May 7 from the previously announced April 23. The CD was helmed by acclaimed British producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Kreator).
A brand new song, entitled "
Good Riddance", which will appear on the forthcoming CD, was premiered during an
Exodus live web stream on December 19, 2009.
In a recent interview with Way Too Loud!, Exodus bassist Jack Gibson stated about the upcoming CD, "There's a couple [of songs] that are long, and a couple that are shorter, too. Song kind of write themselves. Anyone who creates music or art, and even people who write stories — it takes on its own life. If it's an epic tune, it's a crime to cut it short thinking it could be on the radio or whatever. Especially in today's day and age, radio and video don't mean shit. Radio has never meant anything to a band like us. Maybe now that there's XM satellite radio with real metal stations. We really wouldn't unwrite a song so it could be on the radio. The songs are just the way they come out. The new album has a couple short sweet ones, and I think one of 'em is 10 fucking minutes long! . . . Lyrically, it has to do with the depravity of man, how fucked up things have gotten, and how perverted in the dark corners of everything from religion to politics."
