Great, overlooked American thrash act. Supplying the scene for years with their tortured sound of harsh, dry complex thrash. Magnificent and arrogant, but possibly too complex for its own good, but this is the stuff cult bands are made of. 'Through The Eyes Of Greed', 'Valley Of Dry Bones', 'Slaves To Misery', sounds like your average thrash run down...far from it, blast beats are in range but this is technical, Steve DiGiorgio's rumbling bass spiralling out of control, almost funky between the bemusing thrash web of torrential twiddling and trigger drumming, Darren Travis' vocals a grim sneer.
This is very necessary thrash but don't expect chug-a-long accessibility. Sadus have made a career out of such wizardry, so also suggest you track down 'Illusions' and 'Swallowed In Black' for more formidable, face-ripping joy.
8/10
