Exhibit B: The Human Condition
Exhibit B: The Human Condition is the tenth studio album by Exodus, the American thrash metal band. It came out on 7 May 2010 on Nuclear Blast, and it follows directly on from The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A, keeping that record's taste for long, sprawling songs that average around six minutes. The lyrics stay dark, dealing with war, death, society, politics and religion.
It has a place in the band's story for a couple of reasons. It was their first album since Fabulous Disaster in 1989 to arrive with the same line-up as its predecessor, and it was the last to feature vocalist Rob Dukes until Goliath in 2026. At one hour and fourteen minutes, it is also one of the longest records they have made, so it suits listeners who like their thrash to take its time.
