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:
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.
