  • Description

    SADUS came together as a quartet in 1984 consisting of vocalist Darren Travis, guitarist Rob Moore, bassist Steve Di Giorgio and drummer Jon Allen. Two years later the band would release their 1986 D.T.P. (Death To Posers) demo tape. These sessions led directly to the inclusion of two tracks on the 1987 Raging Death compilation album. Quick to capitalize on this achievement SADUS stuck their hands in their pockets to self finance the debut album entitled "Illusions", pulling in METAL CHURCH guitarist John Marshall as producer. The pace of progress was quickened as a deal with label Roadrunner Records was secured resulting in a further album ''Swallowed in Black'' and touring with the likes of SEPULTURA and OBITUARY. SADUS was put on ice for 1991 as Di Giorgio opted to assist DEATH for their "Human" album. With this added exposure Roadrunner re-released the "Illusions" debut retitled "Chemical Exposure" as SADUS regrouped for a summer American tour opening for Morbid Angel. Although a further album for Roadrunner, 1992's "A Vision of Misery", resulted in a full European headline tour.

    Description

    A Vision of Misery is the third full-length album by Californian metal band Sadus and was originally released in 1992.
    Originally a quartet, the band's sound fuses thrash metal with death metal, featuring highly technical musicianship. They are known for the unique death growl of vocalist Darren Travis, and bassist Steve Di Giorgio mind-boggling bass licks and impossible tricks. After two albums straddling the stylistic transition between thrash and death metal, Sadus pretty much committed to the latter with this record.
    A Vision of Misery epitomizes technical death metal with compositions such as "Through the Eyes of Greed," "Machines," and "Echoes of Forever". For fans of Sadus' habitually inventive arrangements and sharp dynamic shifts, there's plenty on offer here.
    A Vision of Misery is available as a limited edition of 750 individually numbered copies on gold coloured vinyl and includes an insert.
