Morbid Saints Spectrum of Death also still kicks asses ! Love it! As Dagon from Inquisition put it: Without Thrash, high gain amplifiers wouldnt exist.

Yeah brother, J. Allen is a sick bastard. Doesn't get the recognition he definitely deserves..wicked fast up top and blistering down below too.."flurious" double bass!!!
I actually feel that way about the first four Sepultura albums, (making Slayer sound like hard rock). These guys? Are great, heavy, but they don't touch Slayer...... not with songs like Angel of Death, War Ensemble, Spirit in Black, Hell Awaits, Ghosts of War just to name a few. At Dawn They Sleep
@@rotting_flesh3274Arise and Beneathe The Remains alone shit on all their stuff. Slayer is a one trick pony. Great for what it is but very overrated. Just like the other three
I do not agree. I love Sadus, but what you say doesn't make sense... it's not a competition to see who's the baddest. Furthermore, I think that Slayer exudes violence (musical I mean...) even when they play mid-tempos... but also when they drink coffee probably. And so are Sadus, but I haven't heard a mid-tempo of them yet!!!!
Still to this day one of the face-smashingest thrash albums known to man. The production isn't great, and they weren't the tightest sounding band at the time, but for sheer viciousness without devolving into a noisy mess, you can't beat this shit.
If I hated my neighbors, this would be blasting from my carport many times before I considered Slayer. The ferocity of these vocals cannot be underestimated.

Its raw and technical death thrash. It was supposed to be the way it is. Not nice and neat like some major label recording. This isn't for people who listen to Gojira, Lamb of God, Slipknot, and or other shit bands that pollute the landscape.

This has got to be one of most FEROCIOUS thrash albums ever made.....jumps in and rips your head off.....HEAD, OFF! thanks dude, one killer upload! I miss the good old days of digging up awesome new albums at the record store....it was a gamble, but sometimes you really scored some killer music!
in the time 10:51 that's the perfect and the real climax of the song "Torture", is the most infernal voice that I've ever heard in my life...!!!! without words...!!! the voice most killer of all...!!! Darren Travis was born in the Hell to get this kind of voice, Suprime!!!
For the age, I think that, this is the album most thrasher of all, the most faster and extreme satanic sound beyond the Death Metal classic...is so corrosive and brutal...!!! the voices it sounds from hell...!!!! is a masterpiece Chemical Exposure from Sadus...!!!!!!!!!!!! Thrash Extreme Metal...!!!

Have to agree, a ferocious album. Fuck me, i recall getting a demo tape from this lot yonks back. Now, there's plenty of newer bands that i think are nothing short of brilliant and as fast and heavy as fuck, from the late 90's to today, but i have to say, that the most intense thrash albums, are the earlier ones. Perhaps it was my era, and it was kinda new to me circa 84, but i haven't heard that energy surpassed. This is as extreme as anything to this day. If this came out today, it would STILL sound fucking awesome..!
This album jumps in, doesn't even bother to say " excuse me", rips through everything in about half an hour, and then jets, taking your head with it👍😈💀

Very well put brother...indeed.
I missed this one back in thee day...so many thrash bands, so many hardcore bands. This album is ripping!

Sadus makes Slayer sound like hard rock...brutal and angry...awesome stuff...Jon Allen must be the most underated drummer ever
Yeah brother, J. Allen is a sick bastard. Doesn't get the recognition he definitely deserves..wicked fast up top and blistering down below too.."flurious" double bass!!!
I actually feel that way about the first four Sepultura albums, (making Slayer sound like hard rock). These guys? Are great, heavy, but they don't touch Slayer...... not with songs like Angel of Death, War Ensemble, Spirit in Black, Hell Awaits, Ghosts of War just to name a few. At Dawn They Sleep
Calm down buddy.
@@rotting_flesh3274Arise and Beneathe The Remains alone shit on all their stuff. Slayer is a one trick pony. Great for what it is but very overrated. Just like the other three
I do not agree. I love Sadus, but what you say doesn't make sense... it's not a competition to see who's the baddest. Furthermore, I think that Slayer exudes violence (musical I mean...) even when they play mid-tempos... but also when they drink coffee probably. And so are Sadus, but I haven't heard a mid-tempo of them yet!!!!
Still to this day one of the face-smashingest thrash albums known to man. The production isn't great, and they weren't the tightest sounding band at the time, but for sheer viciousness without devolving into a noisy mess, you can't beat this shit.

yup
Hell yea brother 🤘

Undoubtedly, one of the FASTEST THRASH Albums, EVER !!
@The Mute Dwarf If consider this style as Thrash then it's DRI - Dirty Rotten (EP) (1983)
@@bls213 This DRI record isn't even metal, it's pure hardcore. They became metallic only from 1985 onwards.
One of my all time favourite thrash albums ever!Sadus fucking rules!
Sadus take brutality to a whole new level, not for posers!

1. Certain Death
0:00
Loss of Vision
Brain Contusion
Sight and short of Breath
Heartbeat pounding, Pulse is slowing
Light has turned to Black
Excruciating Agony
Have you lost your Will to Live?
Perpetuating Destiny
It's in your Hands to give
Staring at the Crypts of Death
Certain Mortal Perishment
There is no will to give
Existence has reached its End
There is no Perplexity
End of Life's expectancy
Stripped of Life's Vitality
Certain Death
Pressure building inside your Head
Compression pushing to the Red
Limbs are Numb, Control is Lost
Bag of Blood is about to Bust
Searching for the Strength to Grasp
Your Life Span is Flashing Fast
Now your Time has come to Pass
Thickening Blood will now Delay
Pulse has quickened, but too Late
Melting Braincells Die away
Cranium dripping, oozing Gray
Ever lasting Intensity
Perpetuating Destiny
Excruciating Agony
Certain Death
Covered in Gore by Butchery
Constant flowing Ecstasy
Grasping Life
You feel it slip
Death awaits you at the Crypts
There is no Perplexity
End of Life's Expectancy
Stripped of Life's Vitality
Certain Death
2. Undead
4:15
Emerging from Hell's Dominion
To crawl upon the Land
Mutants of the Holocaust
Lose their Flesh into the Sand
Victims of the wicked World
Pray to the evil Shrine
Brimstone Churches
They all fall in Time
The Undead
Immortality Madness possessed
Feeding on Flesh
Rancid decaying Stench
Vile Stench of Death
Burning rot Decay
Corpses litter Cities
In a silent putrid Array
Maggots fill their Brains
As every Limb must Fall
Submit to the Sewers below
And await the Reaper's Call
The Undead
Immortality Madness possessed
Feeding on Flesh
Rancid decaying Stench
Feed upon the living Flesh
As Blood fills their Eyes
Wishful whims of Life
Our maker hears their Cries
Kingdom of the Dead
Is cast out upon the Ground
Salvation from their Pain
Is nowhere to be found
The Undead
Immortality Madness possessed
Feeding on Flesh
Rancid decaying Stench
Memories of Destruction
Inflicted mortal Wounds
Mists of gaseous Poison
Sullen as it Looms
Immortal Corpses crawling
In Rust and toxic Slime
There is no Death in dying
For those who wish to Die
3. Sadus Attack
8:17
I can't wait to steal the Stage
To quench my Thirst
For Neon is what I Crave
Throughout the Day
So feed your Face
Sadus will take Control
Steal the Show
Kill them all's
The final Command
ATTACK!
4. Torture
10:03
Death to posers is what I mean
Stand tall, never Fall
We will Rise to kill them all
There's an Evil in your Brain
Driving you fucking Insane
Torture
Fighting off
The Evil in your Brain
At any Cost
To Release you from this Pain
Death will come
The final Sign will arrive
To torture your Mind
Anybody from deep inside
Torture
Torture
There's an evil in your Brain
Driving you fucking insane
Torture
Fight!
5. And Then You Die
12:28
Living high, no Life denied
A Game's your Life
Every Time is Right
And one of these Times you're gonna Die
Racing Death, tempting Fate
You lose Control
Your Mind's lost, a senseless Cause
Until you get some more
Racing time, you can't get caught
But it's too late
Your Doom's locked, no Way out
Until you're straight
Play it straight or take a Chance
Well what will it be?
But of course we all know your Destiny
Your right to Live Is yours to give
So take Control
Or you'll fall
And then you Die
And then you Die
You're gonna Die
And then you Die
Long life, fast Death, which one
Will it be? Living hard, you're
Dying fast, you can't Fight
Destiny, Hands of Time are going
Fast, how long can you make it last?
Your Right to Live
Is yours to give
So take Control
Or you'll Fall
And then you die
6. Hands of Fate
14:13
Victims will follow to their Death
Show no Sorrow
Steal their last Breath
Hide in the Shadows to seek out my Prey
Victim's Creator leads them away
Frustrating Desire to watch the Victim die
The ultimate Destiny
Is to rob you of your Life
To die, to kill for the Night
I'll capture the Chosen
Who's trapped in my Sight
No Mercy, no Pity
For the one in my Grasp
Your Days have been numbered
This is your Last
You struggle with your Adversary
Only to be eaten alive
Still hungry for Violence
Perpetual Hunter for Life
A Hunter again to punish the Weak
Craving the Flesh
The meat of the Beast
Strike and Devour
For the Balance of Death
In dominate, terminate
Nature of death
Extinction of Life awaits
Your Destiny at Hand
Hands of Fate grasp you and tighten
Yet only by Chance
Lashing out to Dominate
Your Trust in me is your one Mistake
Life's Blood you're forced to give
Canceling your Life to Live
Spewing liquid Life Form
Clenching Jaws
Blunder to your Fate, you take the Fall
Tearing into your Flesh with wicked Claws
Worm Consumption
Deterioration
Carcass Erosion, Contamination
Decomposition, Mutilation
Equalization of Death and Life
Balance of Death, Balance of Life
Life's prolonged Prerequisite
Is for you to Die
A Hunter again to punish the Weak
Craving the Flesh
The meat of the Beast
Strike and devour
For the Balance of Death
In dominate, terminate
Nature of Death
Extinction of Life awaits
Your destiny at Hand
Hands of Fate grasp you and tighten
Yet only by Chance
7. Twisted Face
18:07
Twisted mind, twisted Face
There's no rest, endless Race
It's too late to save your Face
From the twisted sons of Hate
In your brain, the vein of Pain
Causes you to twist your Face
Velocity, accelerate
Pressure builds, burning Strain
Mirror skiing for the answer
Your face a twisted Mess
Speeding faster, never Slowing
You know there's no rest
Feel the Rush, urgency
Methamphetamine, can't be Freed
Feel your Heart beat faster faster
Never ending Thrust
Feel your Skull begin to Crush
Your Brain turns into Mush
Crank it up, smell the Rage
Locked within, Cage of Death
Can't slow down, no time to Rest
No way to end this Chase
Your twisted Face, your burning Nose
You die a fucking Disgrace
Twisted Mind, Twisted Face
There's no rest, endless Race
It's too late to save your Face
From the twisted Sons of Hate
In your Brain, the Vein of Pain
Causes you to twist your Face
Velocity, Accelerate
Pressure builds, burning Strain
Mirror skiing for the Answer
Your face a twisted Mess
Speeding faster, never slowing
You know there's no Rest
Twisted Face
Twisted Face
Twisted Face
8. Fight or Die
20:12
One lonely Man
Picked despite his Will
To fight for his Country
Supposedly Born and Bred to Kill
He was afraid to Die
To Kill, or to Fight
He had the Love of Jesus
Blinded by the Light
You'll Fight or Die
So Dominate, you can't Hide
It's Do or Die, before it's too Late
Far away from Home, his Mission
Is to Kill, there is no
Sanctuary, for the Coward's
Spiteful will, all others they
Will follow, the Leaders of the
Pack
Death is their Future in this
World
The Leaders Scream Attack
You'll Fight or Die
So Dominate, you can't Hide
It's Do or Die, before it's too Late
Smell of Death grows Stronger
As Blood begins to Flow
Every man's a Hunter
And to Kill is all they know
War Machines keep Pushing
Metal falls like Rain
Stench of Bodies Burning
This man has reached his End
This man's war he Lost
And no one's felt the Pain
No mercy and no Sorrow
Only Countries Gained
But far away from home, his
Mission was to kill
Still no Sanctuary, for the Cowards
Spiteful Will
You'll Fight or Die
So Dominate, you can't Hide
It's Do or Die, before it's too Late
9. Illusions
23:05
Imaginative formations
Taking control of the fears I hide
Intricate creations
Twisting and shaping me from inside
Massive confusion
Constantly veiling my mind's eyes
Into oblivion
Spiraling downward, reaching my demise
Misleading visions
Reflecting figments of what is to be
Forceful delusions
Driving me inward to my mental sea
Optical distortions
Bind me to what I don't know
Repulsive contortions
Blinding me of which way to go
What have I done to reality?
Chaos strangles my sanity
What have I done to reality?
Chaos strangles my sanity
Projected through shadows
Chromatic patterns shift and blur
Dim light shallows
Oppressive darkness becomes obscure
Imprisoned by unreal
Plunged into falseness rapidly
Deceit I feel
Images betray me constantly
10. Chemical Exposure

Its raw and technical death thrash. It was supposed to be the way it is. Not nice and neat like some major label recording. This isn't for people who listen to Gojira, Lamb of God, Slipknot, and or other shit bands that pollute the landscape.
This is my first time hearing it, but I immediately can say the drum sound combined with the bass is very very good.
Whad'ya mean "mistakes"?
@@bigbitehood1353 Haha. no mistakes, just that the raw energy moved the notes around. Can't replicate that.
This groups slow rhymes stood out so well then the speed is totally next level
Rhythms I ment
Possibly the thrashiest band of all times.
+Christhjian you should look into MERCILESS "THE AWAKENING"
+BLASPHERIAN HORDES Awesome, hadn't heard about this band.
You should look for Morbid Saint lol
This band changed my life
Love this, reminds me of Schizophrenia from Sepultura , golden age death-thrash

Today I listened to this for the first time, why haven't I heard people talk about this album more? Its insanely good
Some things were meant to stay underground
I have this one on tape cassette. still do more than 25 years later.
Me too.
Sadus thrash will never be "trash"..
Me three on audio cassette
After submerging myself in death metal, black metal, noise, power electronics, extreme experimental, this is the only one that still is as heavy as when I heard them in high school (I am 20 😭)
best thrash metal album ever
Like a thrashier faster old Kreator. I remember seeing Andreas wearing one of their shirts on LIVE IN BARCELONA.
dont faster than KREATOR
@@salazar.slytherin6400 Ha! Kreator fanboy. Hate to break it to ya sparky, but there are a lot of bands faster than Kreator.
And influential... crossing all early genres!

This has got to be one of most FEROCIOUS thrash albums ever made.....jumps in and rips your head off.....HEAD, OFF! thanks dude, one killer upload! I miss the good old days of digging up awesome new albums at the record store....it was a gamble, but sometimes you really scored some killer music!
in the time 10:51 that's the perfect and the real climax of the song "Torture", is the most infernal voice that I've ever heard in my life...!!!! without words...!!! the voice most killer of all...!!! Darren Travis was born in the Hell to get this kind of voice, Suprime!!!
best thrash album ever, Darren Travis voice and sick riffing is something else....oh and they have Steve too
Um dos álbuns de Thrash mais agressivos de todos!!! hail sadus!
Why do people bother seeking out a (sorta) obscure record like this to thumbs down it? Wack and all of you have awful taste. KILLER release.
Trollin' Bro. They have nothing better to do 👺👺👺
this was my first dose of metal in my face in my small town all I heard before this was metalica and megadeth I was a little scared but addicted
I haven't heard this shit in so long. Fucking brutal thrash metal
Best thrash band for sure
KREATOR SODOM DESTRUCTION SADUS. & many more cheers 🍺 🍺
Brian Vitullo well if you mentioned german thrash and beers, don't forget tankard!
ONE OF THE BEST SHOW LIVE BELIEVE ME BRO!!
So glad I found this after many years!
Heftig.:)
Love the Green cover art ...
This is a diamond!!!
que bandaaaaaa!!! ese bajo es lo mejor.
Классная группа!!!!альбом великолепный очень круто и дико оболдено🔥💀💀💀🔥🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🔥👹🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟
ive knew they on a Chilean metal festival in 2007 with Obituary, Watain and Atomic Aggressor... they blown my head with his speed!!! aaaaagggghhh!!!
When the word "frenzy" turns into a metal album. Late 80's-early 90's metal was the most golden of all golden ages.
For the age, I think that, this is the album most thrasher of all, the most faster and extreme satanic sound beyond the Death Metal classic...is so corrosive and brutal...!!! the voices it sounds from hell...!!!! is a masterpiece Chemical Exposure from Sadus...!!!!!!!!!!!! Thrash Extreme Metal...!!!
satanic? wtf. and THE MOST ist PLEASURE TO KILL
even compared to death metal.
One of the heaviest thrash albums ever

Gran álbum, lo mejor de Sadus.
My fav album from these guys. Hang on!
This is poetry to my ears!
Isto é poesia para meus ouvidos!
SADUS!!! \m/
"Hands Of Fate" - great track, killer album.
Have to agree, a ferocious album. Fuck me, i recall getting a demo tape from this lot yonks back.
Now, there's plenty of newer bands that i think are nothing short of brilliant and as fast and heavy as fuck, from the late 90's to today, but i have to say, that the most intense thrash albums, are the earlier ones. Perhaps it was my era, and it was kinda new to me circa 84, but i haven't heard that energy surpassed. This is as extreme as anything to this day.
If this came out today, it would STILL sound fucking awesome..!
A lot of bands play fast, but it doesn't SOUND fast if you get what I'm saying, blastbeats all the time give you no sense of dynamics.
love Sadus at their earliest!!!! total attacking thrash mayhem!!!!
This album jumps in, doesn't even bother to say " excuse me", rips through everything in about half an hour, and then jets, taking your head with it👍😈💀
Mega Steve!!!
Still have the vinyl
the bass is loud & rippin' raw to the core
Faster and heavier than Slayer...submit to Sadus!!
yup
wait, you like game of thrones and world of tanks?
I use to rock to this shit back in high school. 🤘
Relentless \m/
This rebuilds me. 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Also may be called "Illusions" Awesome album, i don't have words for describe this.
My god, I'me ashamed that I only knew their album Swallowed in black (until now).
Definitely in my top 5 extreme Thrash albums
Gotta love this album.I went quite a bit deaf from high volumes.
Yheaaaa!!! Perfekt!!!!!!
Absolut Killer Album. Thx From Germany

Class stuff, I remember hearing this album years ago, it reminded me of Dark Angel meets Kreator, but I still cant remember why I didnt eventually buy it??? big mistake
It's like 5 dollars on Discogs, that's where I bought mine.
+Bill Waring sort of mixed emotions, that is correct.
EXTREMELY BIG
One of the best bands ever!!!!!
Also look for a new band from Greece called saboter.... Fucking great \m/
