Bio:

Nasty Savage is a thrash metal band originating from Brandon, Florida, USA. The band rose to popularity primarily due to lead vocalist “Nasty” Ronnie Galetti’s over-the-top stage show performances (in early shows Ronnie would smash television sets over his head) and the band’s relentless efforts to keep its music as uncommon as possible. The second album featuring the hit single “XXX” was recorded at Progressive Music in Tampa. These recordings helped get the band signed with heavy metal label Metal Blade Records. After releasing four albums between 1985 and 1989 they broke up. After there had been speculation about a reunion for some time, an album of new material was released in the spring of 2004.

Album:

Classic power/thrash metal pioneers Nasty Savage are back! 20 years have passed since their last album, but we are getting more at last! Out via FHM Records on October 10th.Following a short introduction we launch into blistering thrash metal warfare with those unique vocals spitting venom across barrages of ferocious drums and guitars. The unusual attack of this band remains totally their own and recognisable, picking up where we left off all those years ago. The soloing is face-melting and the rhythm is tight as a fist to the jaw, giving us the Nasty Savage we know and love. Their progressive tendencies harness all of their technical proficiency while none of the balls-to-the-wall aggression is lost in the process. Continuing to give us those angular and jarring metallic whims in a way that is so addictive, I am pleased to hear the feel of the band isn’t gone. This is real power thrashing death from an 80s legend whose reincarnated form honours the past while striding boldly forward. My first impressions of this record are very good, let’s hope they remain so…“Witches Sabbath” is one of my favourite Nasty Savage songs of all time. I always wondered why it never made the debut record after being such a memorable cut of the demo tape. Anyways, it is finally presented in a more final form here. The evil, haunting atmosphere of the song is kept with its Mercyful Fate-like eeriness. Stomping through, it feels refreshed and it’s so cool to finally hear an album version of the track. It’ll never beat the demo for me, as that’s always just gonna be a personal favourite, but it’s a damn cool revisitation to a piece I adore. Plus the Tardy brothers from Obituary as guests on this song really give it even more punch! Anyways, back to the more general scope of the album, the thing takes enough twists and turns to not stagnate in its running time of 45 minutes. This is a band who clearly still know how to refine their craft and offer only their strongest performances.There are some almost extreme tendencies on this album which give a brutal edge to things, not overlooking some modern production values too. Thankfully neither gets in the way of good classic thrashing mania and what we end up with is the best of both worlds. Instead of an indecisive mess, Nasty Savage invoke the past to fuel their present energetic delivery. Keeping plenty of those savagely spasming hooks intertwined with merciless grooves and frenzied hostility; this album has all the dynamics and trademarks of some magnificent material. If you doubted the savages return would happen, revel in being proven wrong by this wicked opus.Still eclectic, bold and inventive while keeping true thrash metal firmly in their sights. The masters of the unusual and wonderful, Nasty Savage, and their new record must be one of the year’s most anticipated releases. Personally, I thought it was killer. Not sure what to expect, it sounds like the band we all adore, but in the present day. They’ve aged well, not abandoning their roots but without feeling like a cheap nostalgia cash-in. “Jeopardy Room” is a statement of intent that these maniacs are not dead and they will conquer… Let’s just hope the next one is not such a long wait!

Bio:

Nasty Savage is a thrash metal band originating from Brandon, Florida, USA. The band rose to popularity primarily due to lead vocalist “Nasty” Ronnie Galetti’s over-the-top stage show performances (in early shows Ronnie would smash television sets over his head) and the band’s relentless efforts to keep its music as uncommon as possible.

After releasing four albums between 1985 and 1989 they broke up. After there had been speculation about a reunion for some time, an album of new material was released in the spring of 2004.

Album:

Massacre records reissue with 2 bonus tracks.I have seen that autothrall appreciates "Penetration Point".I respect his opinion, but from my point of view, this album marked a sad ending to Nasty Savage's short-lived career. It left me alone with the bitter aftertaste that the band had never revealed its full potential. It was therefore a pleasure for me to see that the band returned with two new tracks in 2003 and the demo of 1984 constituted a nice addition. The first 25 minutes of - more or less - new music of Nasty Savage after 14 comatose years did not disappoint me. To my great relief, the band did not head for new shores in terms of style. The US-Americans still concentrated on fairly snaggy riffs, a dark basic mood with a few psychedelic elements and the charismatic vocals of their distinctive frontman. Nasty Ronnie was probably not the greatest singer of the American thrash scene. Nevertheless, this self-confident dude had his own style and did not care too much about singing techniques. Apart from this healthy ignorance, he was still able to present his well known high-pitched, fairly melodic cries.The mid-paced "Sardonic Mosiac" was a good thrasher, but "Wage of Mayhem" delivered the more powerful new track. Its constant double bass took it close to the "Indulgence" version of "XXX". The continuous knocking worked as a kind of corrective to the smooth flow of the delayed title track of the demo. Sadly, both songs did not benefit from a strong production. The sound was relatively dull and did not live up to the actual force of the group. The same applied, of course, for the remaining pieces, but, generally speaking, who expects a flawless sound when listening to demo tracks? Anyway, "Unchained Angel" (from "Abstract Reality") and "XXX" (from "Metal Massacre VI" and "Indulgence") had already been known, while "Savage Desire" and "Witches Sabbath" were new for miserable non-tapetraders like me. Both tunes showed Nasty Savage in a surprisingly mature form. Especially the well constructed "Witches Sabbath" pleased me. Its calm beginning, the occult aura, the contribution of Nasty Ronnie and, of course, the lyrical topic made me think of Mercyful Fate's "Come to the Sabbath". Yet it is a fact that Nasty Savage's song stood on its own feet.I did not pay much money for these six tracks and I was happy that Nasty Savage were back. Apart from that, it was interesting to see that the band had already found the basis of its style at a very early stage. Finally, all songs were worth listening despite the aforementioned shortcomings of the production. Therefore, if you like to listen to autonomous thrash metal, Nasty Savage is almost always a good choice.
