Sadus – A Vision of Misery Released in 1992, A Vision of Misery is the third studio album by American technical thrash metal band Sadus. This album showcases the band’s evolution toward a more complex and progressive sound, while maintaining their trademark ferocity and technical precision. Known for their intense speed, intricate riffs, and Steve Di Giorgio’s virtuoso bass work, Sadus pushed the boundaries of thrash metal with this release, flirting with death metal influences and advanced song structures. The album delivers a dark and oppressive atmosphere, with lyrics focusing on dystopian themes, societal decay, and existential suffering. Tracks like "Through the Eyes of Greed" and "Valley of Dry Bones" feature rapid tempo changes, searing guitar solos, and haunting melodies, creating a sense of chaos and urgency. Steve Di Giorgio’s fretless bass provides a unique counterpoint to the aggressive riffing, weaving complex patterns that elevate the overall sound. While not achieving the commercial success of some of their peers, A Vision of Misery is widely regarded as an underrated gem in the technical thrash genre. It highlights Sadus’s ability to blend intensity with musical sophistication, earning them a devoted following among fans of extreme metal. 50 Similar Artists to Sadus Death (Human era) Atheist (Unquestionable Presence era) Cynic (Focus era) Pestilence (Testimony of the Ancients era) Coroner (Mental Vortex era) Watchtower Anacrusis Voivod (Dimension Hatröss era) Toxik Vektor Dark Angel (Time Does Not Heal era) Forbidden (Twisted into Form era) Realm Heathen Artillery (By Inheritance era) Mekong Delta Believer (Dimensions era) Demolition Hammer Morbid Saint Nocturnus (The Key era) Exhorder (The Law era) Exodus (Impact is Imminent era) Kreator (Coma of Souls era) Sodom (Agent Orange era) Destruction (Release from Agony era) Razor Overkill (The Years of Decay era) Testament (The New Order era) Annihilator (Alice in Hell era) Sepultura (Beneath the Remains era) Carcass (Necroticism: Descanting the Insalubrious era) Obituary (Cause of Death era) Immolation (Dawn of Possession era) Suffocation (Effigy of the Forgotten era) Gorguts (Considered Dead era) Martyr (Warp Zone era) Kreator (Terrible Certainty era) Aspid (Extravasation era) Infernal Majesty (None Shall Defy era) Sacred Reich Solstice (Self-titled era) Devastation (Idolatry era) Paradox (Heresy era) Cyclone Temple (I Hate Therefore I Am era) Invocator Epidemic (Decameron era) Hellwitch (Syzygial Miscreancy era) Absu (The Sun of Tiphareth era) Malevolent Creation (Retribution era) Skeletonwitch Sadus's A Vision of Misery remains a landmark release for fans of technical and progressive thrash metal, showcasing their relentless energy and musical innovation during a pivotal era for extreme metal. ____ All records ship both domestically (USPS Media Mail) and Internationally (USPS), and will be packed/protected like a pro with experience.
