Fabulous Disaster
Fabulous Disaster is the third studio album by the American thrash metal band Exodus, released in January 1989. It came out on Music for Nations in the UK, while Combat/Relativity handled the US release. Coming after Bonded by Blood and Pleasures of the Flesh, it was the first Exodus record to arrive without a line-up change from the album before it, giving the band a settled footing for the first time.
It also carries two cover songs, something Exodus would only do again on Force of Habit in 1992. For fans of the band, it is the last studio album to feature drummer Tom Hunting until much later; his next appearance came on the 1997 live album Another Lesson in Violence. Century Media remastered it in 1999 as part of a European reissue of the band's first three albums, which makes it easy to follow the early Exodus story in order.
