Exile is the thirteenth solo studio album by English musician Gary Numan, released in October 1997 by Eagle Records.

"[2] The opening number and single, "Dominion Day", set the album's gothic/industrial rock tone, describing how a man's nightmare becomes reality as Christ returns to Earth in scenes suggestive of the Book of Revelation.

"Dead Heaven" turned various biblical conceits on their head (Mary is ravaged, rather than revered, by the Three Wise Men) while "Absolution", a re-recording of a 1995 single, was a bitter reflection on the consequences of unquestioning faith; it had been covered by Amanda Ghost on the Random tribute album.

Though not a big chart success Exile scored almost universally positive reviews, a contrast to the situation in Numan's early years when he had many hits but was generally condemned by critics.

At the time of the video, Sacrifice and Pure had been fully recorded, while production of Exile had been put on hold due to the release of Intruder.
