Nasty Savage - Indulgence/Abstract Reality CD

 Thrash Indulgence
Nasty Savage was sadly neglected by the majority of the thrash metal hoards back in the 80's, which was a damn shame, considering that they produced some of the most innovative, technical and jaw-dropping metal ever, period. In fact, Nasty Savage is the only band who appeared on the famous World War III festival who most forget to recall (the others being Celtic Frost, Possessed, Voivod and Destruction). Says it all, right there. 'Indulgence' is a forgotten gem; full of anvil-heavy yet incredibly catchy riffs, swirling (re; tasty) solos and rumbling bass lines which were years ahead of anything being played at the time (Voivod, Cynic and Watchtower excluded). Not to mention the combo snarling/high-pitched vocals from frontman Nasty Ronnie - a truly unique voice. Check out album 'Inferno' - a metal masterpiece if ever there was one. The 'Abstract Reality' Ep, released in 1988 dumbfounded many with its musical technicality, a notch further than the complicated listen that was 'Indulgence'. Quantity over quality, these 4-songs stood head and shoulders above the saturated thrash scene at the time, and listening to it now it sounds as fresh and astounding as ever. Essential.

 Best of Nasty Savage
This is obviously 2 of the best works by the band - Nasty Savage!!! Their 1st album was just too slow and the vocals were on the point of being annoying. Though, all that changes here!! Nasty Ronnie delivers his best (though on stage he still acts like a moron) with a thicker voice and hitting high notes every now and then. The music is faster than before and really sounds like Thrash!!!! So, if you are looking for another Thrash album for your collection, or the thrashiest by Nasty Savage...then this is it!! Though, i highly recommend the Mini Album 'Abstract Reality' as the best of these two.

 Intense progressive speed metal
This band is an oddity. The musicanship is excellent and is paired with the most eerie falsetto voice I've ever heard. I love it, but it can be hard for some to take. This is not a nock off band. They are painfully original- awesome!
