Robot Hive/Exodus is the seventh full-length studio album by the band Clutch and was first released in 2005 by DRT Entertainment.

Album information

The original release of the album contained 14 tracks, though it had 15 on some editions, namely the single and title track of the compilation album Slow Hole to China: Rare and Unreleased. It included two Blues covers, one by the legendary Howlin' Wolf and one by Mississippi Fred McDowell, continuing the bands musical virtuosity and their habit of playing various styles on their albums. It also highlighted the time Mick Schauer spent playing the 'keys' with the band on this and the following album plus the subsequent tours.

A reissue of the album was released on September 28, 2010 with only the original 14 tracks, but album design and a DVD of their performance at the Sounds of the Underground festival in July 2005.[2]
