On May 3st, American Thrash Metal masters EXODUS, have released their live album, “British Disaster: The Battle of ’89 (Live At The Astoria).”
35 years of being locked away in the band’s vault, the album now sees the light of day. The energy and heaviness that EXODUS radiate on these live recordings give every metal fan a reason to add it to their personal collection. A MUST for every metalhead!
To commemorate this massive release, the band have released a great visualizer video for their new live single “Piranha (Live At The Astoria)”.
Gary Holt comments on the album: “I, as well as all the band, former members and current, are super excited for the release of the new(old!) live record, ‘British Disaster: The Battle of ’89 (Live At The Astoria)’. When we first discovered these long hidden master reels, we were intrigued. When we listened, we were crushed! Can’t wait for everyone else to hear this record! A band on fire.”
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 also to Europe for a month of live shows. During this European run EXODUS decided to record the show in London, but never released it. This recording remained unheard of in the EXODUS vaults. Until now!
