This package, released in 1994, is worth every penny, joining together Nasty Savage's thrashing rage of two quality records. This is the kind of metal headbanger's wanted to hear back in the day. Furious, fresh, frantic, in your face metal. 'Indulgence' is a fearsome record, Nasty Ronnie at the helm wrenching the dungeon-esque noise into the ears, filling the room with a beautiful, old school cacophony. A tight mix of Slayer, Mercyful Fate, which live would have been quite a circus of horrors. Excellent musicianship, the title cut stings the face, 'XXX' crushes the windpipe, 'Inferno' burns the flesh with its guitar work. Greatly heralded back in the day within the Florida and thrash scene in general, Nasty Savage never quite hit the heights but their cult status will live on within the genre. Just lend an ear to the dark waves of 'Hypnotic Trance', the chugging, and at times awkward melody of 'Distorted Fanatic', and you'll hear a band of identity and malice. Definitely two records to be heard on vinyl although this cd release, boasting thirteen cuts, is a bargain. Nasty Savage, classic thrash. Cool logo and cool imagery too.
7.5/10
