On this day, January 30, 1989, thrash metal band Exodus released their third studio album, Fabulous Disaster. A defining record in the thrash genre, the album brought Exodus further into the spotlight, peaking at #82 on the Billboard 200 charts.

Fabulous Disaster features iconic tracks like The Toxic Waltz, a mosh-pit anthem, and Low Rider, a thrash cover of the classic hit. The album’s intense riffs, sharp lyrics, and unrelenting energy made it a staple for metal fans and showcased Exodus as a powerhouse of the 80s thrash scene.

Fun Fact: The Toxic Waltz became so popular that it even got airplay on MTV’s Headbangers Ball, introducing the band to a wider audience.
