Pre-Order: Nasty Savage - Nasty Savage [Colored Vinyl] [Limited Edition] [Remastered]

Before Florida became synonymous with death metal, there was Nasty Savage.In 1985, before Florida became the epicenter of death metal, Nasty Savage detonated one of the most volatile debuts in American underground metal.Originally released on Metal Blade Records, Nasty Savage was raw, theatrical, and ferociously unpredictable. While the Bay Area polished precision thrash, Florida cultivated something darker and more chaotic. This album captured that moment - a bridge between classic heavy metal theatrics and the emerging extremity that would soon define the region.Fronted by the manic intensity of Ronnie "Nasty Ronnie" Galetti, the band blended razor-sharp riffing with theatrical vocal delivery that drew comparisons to King Diamond - but delivered with the speed and aggression of mid-80s U.S. thrash. Songs like "No Sympathy," "Gladiator," and "The Morgue" hit with violent tempo shifts and sinister melodies that felt dangerous and unhinged.The band's inclusion on Metal Massacre VI placed them alongside key architects of the American metal underground. Members of Morbid Angel and Obituary have cited Nasty Savage as part of the early Florida foundation - and drummer Curtis Beeson would later perform with Death, further cementing their role in the region's evolution.Now restored as part of Brutal Planet Records' elite Metal Icon Series, this edition is pressed on striking Smoke & Steel vinyl, limited to just 300 copies worldwide. Remastered for vinyl by Rob Colwell (Flotsam, Helstar, Geoff Tate, Nevermore), this pressing delivers the chaos with clarity while preserving the album's raw 1985 intensity.Housed in premium packaging with a 12x12 full-color lyrics insert, this is not just a repress - it's a collector-grade restoration of a foundational Florida thrash classic.This is early American extremity.Unpolished. Unpredictable. Uncompromising.For fans of King Diamond, Slayer, Dark Angel, Possessed!
