"The Toxic Waltz" is a song by American thrash metal band Exodus, released from the band's third album Fabulous Disaster (1989). Although the song was never released as a single, it is one of Exodus' best-known songs and has held a regular position on their concert setlist since 1989.
Fabulous Disaster was Tom Hunting's last release with Exodus until the 1997 live album Another Lesson in Violence.
