Fabulous Disaster is
the third studio album by American thrash metal band EXODUS,
released on January 30, 1989. Exodus toured for five months to
promote the release of Fabulous Disaster and embarked on a
month-long European tour with Nuclear Assault and Acid Reign.

The band wrapped up the album
tour, performing at The Fillmore in San Francisco on July 14, 1989, which
was recorded for the band's first live album Good Friendly Violent Fun and
released two years later.

However, things could have been
different back then, because on the night of March 8 ,1989 another show was
recorded, a show that saw them destroy the stage of The Astoria in London! A
night that went down in history and became legendary among Exodus and thrash
metal fans worldwide!

This recording has remained
unheard and kept in the Exodus vaults until now! 35 years later this rager
of a show will finally be released for the first time ever!

On the release Gary Holt comments,
“Sometimes something truly awesome drops right in your lap. In the case of
Exodus, it was full multitrack tape reels from our headlining show in London
while on tour for Fabulous Disaster! So we thought, “let’s listen and see what
we have” and BAM! We were on FIRE! Pure over-the-top thrash, one hundred
percent live, and as dangerous as ever! We are fucking stoked to be able to
release this for our fans. Total mayhem!”
