Set to go into production in September, San Francisco’s pioneer thrashers EXODUS will be shooting a video for the song 'Riot Act' off their upcoming new album The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A slated for release in North America on October 23.

The video director for 'Riot Act' will be none other than Jon Schnepp. Known most recently for his work on Metalocalypse (an animated program about DETHKLOK, the world’s most popular death metal band) on Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim, the show has been described as 'Spinal Tap meets Scooby Doo meets Norway.' 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.

Exodus guitarist Gary Holt has this to say about the shoot: “Having the opportunity to work with Jon on our video for ‘Riot Act’ is going to be amazing. Having just recently done our own guest appearance on Metalocalypse, we went out on a limb and asked Jon if he'd shoot our video. When he said yes, we were stoked to say the least. The ideas that he's come up with promise to make this our best video ever! I usually hate making videos, but this time I'm actually excited about it! It will be unique, and of course, it will be heavy!”

Nuclear Blast will release The Atrocity Exhibition: Exhibit A on October 28th in Europe. Produced at Sharkbite Studios in Oakland, CA by Andy Sneap (MEGADETH, MACHINE HEAD, NEVERMORE, ARCH ENEMY), it features the following tracks: 'A Call To Arms', 'Riot Act', 'Funeral Hymn', 'Children Of A Worthless God', 'As It Was, As It Soon Shall Be', 'The Atrocity Exhibition', 'Iconoclasm', 'The Garden Of Bleeding', 'Bedlam 123'.
