Death metal veterans EXHUMED have released a music video for "Death On Four Wheels," the second visual from their album "Red Asphalt," released February 20 via Relapse Records. The video, shot in a gloriously over-the-top grindhouse exploitation film style complete with fake film grain and lurid color grading, fits perfectly with the album's vehicular violence concept — a thematic arc inspired by the notorious driver's education scare films of the 1960s and 1970s that gave the record its name.
The 10-track, 36-minute record has been praised for its focused aggression, relentless energy, and the kind of savage precision that has defined EXHUMED's approach since their formation in San Jose, California in 1990. Mastermind Matt Harvey's dual vocal attack — alternating between guttural growls and banshee shrieks — drives the track forward with unstoppable momentum, while the band's trademark surgical riffing and blast-beat fury create an atmosphere of controlled chaos. Critics have noted that "Red Asphalt" represents a return to the lean, mean approach of the band's earlier work after the more sprawling ambitions of their previous releases.
EXHUMED are expected to announce comprehensive touring plans in support of the album shortly, with festival appearances already confirmed for several summer events including Maryland Deathfest. The band has been a fixture of the underground death metal scene for over three decades, consistently releasing quality material that honors the genre's goregrind roots while pushing its boundaries. "Death On Four Wheels" is streaming now across all major platforms.
