This is a brand new 2024 release from these Florida-based thrash metallers. They originally appeared around ’85 with their self-titled debut album, then they released a couple more albums up to ’89 , and then disappeared for 25 years until they put out Psycho Psycho, then after another break of 20 years this monster was unleashed.

It’s not too often these days that you come across a brand new old school thrash release as good as this one. The only original member is Nasty Ronnie on vocals, but that doesn’t matter a whole bunch because the quality is high octane and there is no let up until the bitter end. The triggers in the kick drum must be smoking as drummer Jim Coker seems to be doing a permanent 100m sprint.

It’s like being back in 84/85 as the vibe is all there. Southern Fried Homicide is just as good as anything Testament, Overkill, or Exodus were blasting out – maximum thrash riifage is on point. Tough one to pick a fave tune as there are a few contenders, but I’m going with I’m going with Aztec Eleagance. That cool dark eerie atmospheric intro is so cool and you just know that what comes next is gonna slay.

Well done Nasty Savage for releasing a great metal album with maximum groove and awesome riffing.

9/10 from The Grooveman.
