Exhumed share ‘Shovelhead’ music video from upcoming album

EXHUMED hit the blood-soaked road with their new album, Red Asphalt, out February 20, 2026. The masters of Gore Metal rev up and prepare one of 2026’s most frenetic, unhinged slabs of sonic obliteration.

EXHUMED shares the official animated music video for Red Asphalt’s second single “Shovelhead”. Watch the open-road, mayhem unfold (created by Phil Hall of Municipal Waste/Iron Reagan/Morbikon) on the Relapse YouTube Channel HERE.

EXHUMED’s Matt Harvey comments: 

“Feast your eyes and ears on the latest and sleaziest track to ooze out of our new record, red asphalt. Join us, the queasy riders in Exhumed, on our latest wrong turn, straight through a dead end and directly into your brain.”

Additionally, EXHUMED take Red Asphalt on the road throughout 2026 starting with the US from February 19 – March 21 with Oxygen Destroyer & No Más! After a quick pit stop, they returns to Europe/UK this Spring with labelmates GRUESOME from April 4- May 2. To round out the first half of 2026, the band makes their return down under to Australia & New Zealand from May 27 – June 8.

The latest wrong turn from the driving force of Gore Metal, EXHUMED, Red Asphalt crashes the band’s hook-laden, high-speed deathgrind into whiplash-inducing grooves and dangerous musical curves. Red Asphalt is a love letter to the road – horrific accidents, vehicular homicide, defective cars, gore-filled instructional videos, zombified biker gangs, and more.

True to the band’s spirit, Red Asphalt drags the listener through a whirlwind of riffy madness. Tracks like the aptly titled “Unsafe at any Speed”, the horrifying “Shovelhead” and “The Iron Graveyard” ooze with sleaze and groove while retaining all of the high-octane, full-throttle, white-knuckle madness you’ve come to demand from EXHUMED. 

Take the album for a spin, and get your kicks on Route 666!
