Thrash metal masters EXODUS are back with more than exciting news! The band today announces their live album British Disaster: The Battle of ’89 (Live At The Astoria). 35 years after recording, the band decides to share this outstanding live performance with their fans!
Recorded live at the Astoria in London in March 1989, EXODUS once again show why they are one of the greatest thrash metal bands of all time. Head-banging riffs, fast solos and a great atmosphere are what you can expect from this live album, which will see the light of day on May 31, 2024.
To celebrate the live album announcement, the band have released a brilliant visualization video for their new live single ‘Fabulous Disaster (Live At The Astoria)’. The title track of their 1989 album already gives a taste of how energetic this live album is!
Gary Holt comments on the live album:
“Sometimes something really great falls right into your lap. In the case of Exodus, it was complete multi-track tape recordings from our headlining show in London during the Fabulous Disaster tour! So we thought, “Let’s listen and see what we have” and BAM! We were on fire! Pure over-the-top thrash, 100% live and as dangerous as ever! We’re damn excited to release this for our fans. Total mayhem!”
Recorded on March 8, 1989 at the Astoria in London, fans witnessed an evening that went down in history and became legendary among EXODUS and thrash metal fans worldwide. The band had just released their third studio album, Fabulous Disaster, and embarked on a five-month promotional tour for the album, which also took Americans to Europe for a month of live shows. During this European tour, EXODUS decided to record the show in London, but never released it. This recording remained unheard in the EXODUS vaults. Until now!
Be prepared for a much more aggressive and raw sound than on the studio albums. British Disaster: The Battle of ’89 (Live At The Astoria) is the ultimate live album, showcasing the sheer energy of what EXODUS were famous and infamous for in the ’80s and what made them a legendary thrash metal band . A best-of setlist compiled from the band’s first three classic albums. The live album, mixed and mastered by Zeuss with artwork by Mark DeVito, will be available on CD, 2LP vinyl and digitally.
