Sadus – A Vision Of Misery – Cassette

A Vision of Misery is the second studio album by the American thrash metal band Sadus, released in 1992. Sadus is known for their technical and aggressive approach to thrash metal, with influences from death metal as well.

This album, A Vision of Misery, is characterized by its intricate and intense musical compositions, fast-paced guitar riffs, and powerful drumming. Sadus’ music often explores dark and thought-provoking themes, and the band is recognized for their virtuosic instrumental skills.

Sadus garnered respect within the metal community for their technical prowess and innovative songwriting. A Vision of Misery is a notable release in their discography, showcasing their evolution within the thrash and death metal genres.

Part of the original thrash metal scene in the mid- to late ’80s, San Francisco’s Sadus originally consisted of members Darren Travis on vocals and guitar, Rob Moore on guitar, Steve DiGiorgio on bass, and Jon Allen on drums. The group began when all four members were attending high school in 1984, and due to the circulation of such demos as 1986’s DTP and 1987’s Certain Death, the group built a local following.

By the end of 1988, the band issued a debut full-length on their own, titled Illusions, produced by Metal Church guitarist John Marshall. This led to a deal with the metal label Roadrunner Records, which issued Swallowed in Black in 1990; the group supported it a tour opening for Obituary and Sepultura.

The following year, DiGiorgio lent his bass playing talents to the recording of Death’s Human album, which helped introduce Sadus to a wider audience as they toured that same year with Morbid Angel in Europe for the first time.
