Sadus - Swallowed In Black (1990)


Put Sadus in that special field of bands that don't give a fuck, who stay true, and know how to thrash, other such acts being Violence and Atheist. 'Swallowed In Black' hits you in the face grabs onto it, and doesn't let go until the end, by which time your eyes have been pulled from the sockets, your lips are stretched over your head and most of your flesh is on the opposite wall. Steve DiGiorgio's bass is enough to trample your bones into the ground, the dry rasp of Darren Travis could put many off simply because Sadus seek no gimmick or cheap thrill, instead they are intent on face-shredding mechanics, check out the miserable trudge of 'Man Infestation' which then screams into the sky with blistering solo's and the hyper drums of Jon Allen.

It's Sadus, get with it or get out.

7.5/10
