The San Francisco Bay Area is a sacred place in thrash, birthplace to many legendary (and muchly important) thrash bands and equally lauded (which means muchly awesome) thrash albums. 

FABULOUS DISASTER, the 3rd release from Bay Area Thrash Lords EXODUS is, without question, very muchly one of those albums.  And EXODUS is, also without question, also very muchly one of those bands. In fact, this may be one of THE MUCHLIEST thrash albums of 1989 (more on that later…muchly more). 

Go ahead and get your orders phoned in for Ron’s signature Emerald Triangle Jalapeno Relaxers (they’re muchly delicious), pop the above-mentioned cassette in the tape deck of your low rider on side 1 while you channel your internal Cheech-energy and JOIN US as we salute one of the finest moments of late 80’s-era thrash in existence.
