Entitled \"Shovel Headed Kill Machine\", the upcoming album is set for release on October 5, 2005 via Nuclear Blast Records.

Recorded at Trident studios in Pacheco, California and mixed by Andy Sneap (Machine Head, Arch Enemy, Nevermore and many others), the follow-up to the 2004 album \"Tempo of the Damned\" is Exodus\' first album to feature Bostaph.

Paul Bostaph joined the thrashers recently after their previous drummer Tom Hunting had become ill and had to be hospitalized several times.
