San Francisco’s Exodus, one of thrash metal’s seminal bands responsible for the birth and development of the genre, have named their ninth studio album 'Exhibit B: The Human Condition'. The band are currently recording in Northern California with Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Kreator). The album is expected to be released in Spring 2010.

A high-definition and slightly different version of the Jon Schnepp-directed video “Riot Act” has been uploaded onto the Exodus YouTube channel. It can be viewed below. Known most recently for his work on the animated program Metalocalypse on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim about Dethklok (the world’s most popular death metal band), Schnepp is responsible for the character design of the five Dethklok members, directs the majority of the Metalocalypse episodes for each season, and works closely with the show’s co-creators/writers Brendon Small and Tommy Blacha.
