The band had a bit of a bumpy ride during the 1980s, with several line-up changes and the like. After their promising and energetic debut EP, "The Dominatress", all the way back in 1983, both their high-wailing vocalist John Birk and guitarist Kenny Powell left, the latter going on to form Power Metal legends Omen. Two years later they would release the absolutely phenomenal Speed/Heavy Metal gem "Master Of Disguise", just to follow it with a European tour deprived of their vocalist Mike Smith, who couldn’t come. Band leader, Chris Logue, had to fill in during the tour, and he decided to keep it that way when the band recorded this album the following year. It’s not hard to imagine he must have been problematic to work with, and he seems to have a colourful personality (among other things, he was infamously arrested in 2005 for practicing medicine without a licence and claiming to cure cancer and diabetes), but the truth is that in “After The Fall From Grace” he shows how good a vocalist he was after all, while handling the guitar too.
Regrettably, this sophomore was Savage Grace’s final full-length album, but it consolidated the standing of a truly exceptional band in the US Power Metal scene. Musically, this may not be as strong as the stunningly stellar predecessor, but it’s still, on all counts, an excellent album! Logue has a different singing style, but it fits the music wonderfully. There is a lot of the remarkable songwriting that make both albums landmarks for anyone into the eighties’ Metal scene, and that’s a real strength of Savage Grace – not just superior technical capabilities, but also the sheer ability to compose truly memorable songs. You become enthralled by a succession of wonderful riffs, bridges, choruses, solos, that keep coming throughout the whole album.
The “Ride Into The Night” EP follows on this disc, with Logue perhaps even more adventurous as a vocalist, having gained his footing even more solidly now, in three more great songs and a cover version (Deep Purple’s "Burn"). Arguably there are no anthems reaching quite the same level as previous tunes like "We Came, We Saw, We Conquered" or "Tales Of Mystery", but the spirit is the same and the quality is very high.
There are still three more songs of bonus material, one from the "American Metal – Heavy ‘n’ Dirty" compilation LP (1991) and two live cuts (with material from their 1991 demo).
Other than that you still have an extra CD, for the purists, with the original version of the album.

"Master of Disguise" is a critically overlooked Speed Metal gem that oozes with charisma. The Californian quintet offers nine energetic songs with a concise running time of thirty-five minutes. This re-issue include five bonus songs from the debut EP "The Dominatress" and other bonus songs that offer even more value for money.
"Master Of Disguise" is a melodic, playful and timeless album somewhere between Heavy, Speed, and Thrash Metal stylistics with a few Glam and Punk stylistics thrown in. The final result sounds absolutely unique, grows with every spin, and hasn’t lost any of its charm in three and a half decades and counting.
The musicianship is fast but very skilled. The guitar riffs are tight, pitiless, and energetic, while the guitar solos find the perfect balance between melody and energy. The rhythm section is quite energetic with a vibrant audible bass guitar sound and playful drum patterns that are give the opportunity to shine on multiple occasions. The vocals are youthful, passionate, and melodic and will please fans of early Heavy Metal, Glam Metal and even Punk Rock alike.
Check this forgotten gem out, crank up the volume and party with your friends like there is no tomorrow!
