Fabulous Disaster is the third album by Exodus. UK label Music for Nations released the album in 1988,[4] but in the USA, it was released in January 1989 by Combat/Relativity Records.[1]
In 1999, Century Media remastered and reissued the band's first three albums in Europe only. A video was made for the song "The Toxic Waltz" which received a good amount of air-play on MTV's Headbanger's Ball.
This was Tom Hunting's last album with Exodus until the 1997 live release Another Lesson in Violence.
