The "Hammer And Life" song is available for streaming on the band's MySpace page.
Guitarist 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."
"Exhibit B: The Human Condition" was recorded this past December in Northern California with producer Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, ARCH ENEMY, KREATOR).
EXODUS has just completed the "Rust In Peace 20th Anniversary Tour" with MEGADETH and TESTAMENT.
