The first European release on CD of the debut full-length studio album by cult American Thrash Metal band.
Nasty Savage was formed in 1983 by vocalist "Nasty" Ronnie Galletti in Brandon, Florida. Their "Wage Of Mayhem" demo took the Underground by storm in 1984, prompting Brian Slagel to sign them to Metal Blade Records, and in 1985 they went into Morrisound Studios with Tom Morris and cut this Metal classic.
The band rose to popularity primarily due to Ronnie’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 three albums and one EP, between 1985 and 1989 they broke up. After there had been speculation about a reunion for some time, their last studio album to date, "Psycho Psycho", was released in the spring of 2004, and the band played occasional live shows before disbanding for the second time in 2012. In January 2016, it was reported that Nasty Savage had once again reformed and were working on a new album, which has since been slowly in progress. The band has undergone various line-up changes, with Galletti and guitarist David Austin remaining the only constant members, until the latter's departure in 2022. Nasty Savage were extremely influential in the emergence of the Florida Death Metal scene, inspiring bands such as Death and Obituary.
For those unfamiliar with the band, they seem to defy categorization, as they incorporated elements of most prevailing styles at the time. Basically, if you're into the whole mid-80s scene, when genres didn't matter as much as whether the music rocked, you'll like this album, because it fucking rocks!
