Shovel Headed Kill Machine, released in 2005, is the seventh studio album by thrash metal band Exodus. The album has been given much praise for the eight and-a-half minute epic, "Deathamphetamine."

This album contains a huge shift in the lineup for Exodus. This is the first studio album to feature Rob Dukes on vocals (after the departure of "Zetro"), the first album to feature Lee Altus on guitars (after Rick Hunolt's departure) and is also the only Exodus album to feature Paul Bostaph on drums after Tom Hunting's second departure.
