Background information über 'Nasty Savage'

Nasty Savage stands as an emblematic force in the early thrash metal scene. With their self-titled debut album "Nasty Savage," this band from Florida crafted a sound that is both aggressive and technically proficient. Recorded at the famed Morrisound Studios, the album bursts with raw energy and a complex interplay of riffs and rhythms. Vocals by Nasty Ronnie are filled with theatrical bravado, adding a unique flair to the ferocity of tracks like "No Sympathy" and "Gladiator." The guitar work by Ben Meyer and David Austin showcases intricate solos that weave seamlessly into pounding bass lines provided by Fred Dregischan. The production is crisp yet retains the gritty authenticity characteristic of 1980s thrash.

Reissued in 2016 under Metal Blade Records' Originals series, this album is a testament to its enduring legacy in metal history. Tracks such as "Fear Beyond The Vision" explore darker themes with relentless speed and precision. Meanwhile, songs like "Dungeon Of Pleasure" captivate listeners with their bold structure changes and dynamic tempo shifts. For fans of speed metal who appreciate complexity wrapped in intensity, "Nasty Savage" remains a quintessential experience that defines an era.
