2017 re-issue on blue vinyl with insert. Limited 300 copies

For their second album, 1990’s Swallowed in Black,death-thrashers Sadus decided to lie back a little and tone downtheir rampant speed and aggression somewhat — yeah right! Fact is,for any but the most radical and perceptive of metalheads,Swallowed in Black still rages with seemingly endless stores ofhate and hostility and, thanks to blazing opener “Black” andnumerous short-and-sweet bursts like the riff-tastic “Last Abide”or the self-explanatory “In Your Face,” probably still holds a fewland-speed records even now. But it also sees the Bay Area quartetindulging in a far greater variety of tempos (see the slow andatmospheric buildup to “Man Infestation,” and the wildly varied,extended tour de force “Arise”) and introducing additional doses ofmelody, with guitarists Darren Travis and Rob Moore expertlyintertwining many a clean guitar figure into their reliably manicand restless rhythm playing. If there is anything that remainsperfectly status quo in comparison to their first LP, it’s the waySadus manage to stand poised, right on the borderline betweenthrash and death metal. The former, older style’s hallmark staccatoassault still drives tracks like “The Wake” and the notablyExodus-like “Powers of Hate,” even as those oft-slower tempos, JonAllen’s abundant double bass-drum heroics, and the crustierdisposition of Travis’ lead vocals also qualify for inclusion underthe new metallic order. Finally, even though he was hardlyinvisible on the band’s impressive debut, here fretless bassistextraordinaire Steve DiGiorgio truly begins to stand out from hisnearly as accomplished bandmates. With his blinding and intricatecontributions throughout, but especially in “Good Rid’nz” and“Oracle of Obmission,” DiGiorgio effectively makes his case for thehigh demand he would enjoy as an extreme metal session player inyears to come. As for Sadus, the band, their standing as favoritesons of the first death metal wave remains secure, thanks to fineefforts like Swallowed in Black.
