Exodus have uploaded “Hammer And Life,” a new track off their upcoming May 18th release, 'Exhibit B: The Human Condition', onto their MySpace player. Guitarist/songwriter Gary Holt shares the background on the new song: "We decided to put up an early rough mix of ‘Hammer And Life’ to give everybody a little taste of the new record. The really fast songs you'll get soon enough! This song is inspired by the one and only [original vocalist] Paul Baloff, our ode to him. Paul was always the hammer in Exodus and he lived for metal more than anyone I've ever known. R.I.P."

The track listing for the band’s ninth studio album is as follows:

01. 'The Ballad Of Leonard And Charles'
02. 'Beyond The Pale'
03. 'Hammer And Life'
04. 'Class Dismissed (A Hate Primer)'
05. 'Downfall'
06. 'March Of The Sycophants'
07. 'Nanking'
08. 'Burn, Hollywood, Burn'
09. 'Democide'
10. 'The Sun Is My Destroyer'
11. 'A Perpetual State Of Indifference'
12. 'Good Riddance'

Nuclear Blast USA’s Webshop will be issuing an exclusive mail-order edition of the album featuring a slipcase with different artwork (to be unveiled soon) plus the North American bonus track “Devil’s Teeth.” In a recent interview with Canoe.ca, Holt stated, "A lot of people will ask me things like, ‘Exodus is achieving a lot of popularity again, do you think it's due to thrash metal coming back?' And I say, 'No. I think thrash metal's coming back because of Exodus.'"

'Exhibit B: The Human Condition' was recorded this past December in Northern California with producer Andy Sneap (Megadeth, Arch Enemy, Kreator). Exodus are currently on the Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour with Megadeth and Testament.
