Exodus announce new live album ‘British Disaster: The Battle Of ’89 (Live At The Astoria)’
EXODUS have announced a new live album!
Titled British Disaster: The Battle Of ’89 (Live At the Astoria), the upcoming album from the veteran American thrash metal band is scheduled to be released in May this year, via Nuclear Blast Records.
Recorded on the 8th of March in 1989 at The Astoria in London, fans witnessed a night 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 started a five month run to promote the album which brought the Americans to Europe for a month of live shows. During this European run the band decided to record the show in London, but never released it. This recording remained unheard of in the EXODUS vaults – until now.
Speaking about the upcoming live album, guitarist Gary Holt says, “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!”
Alongside the announcement of the new live album, the band have released a new song from the upcoming live album; Fabulous Disaster.
