Sadus emerged from the American thrash metal underground in the late 1980s, and Swallowed In Black stands as a landmark of their uncompromising sonic assault. Released in 1990 on Roadracer Records, the album showcases technical thrash riffing colliding with death metal's darker vocals and brutal sensibility. The production is dense and heavy, capturing the band's command of lightning-fast passages and crushing mid-tempo sections. This is raw, muscular heavy metal from the era when thrash and death metal territories were beginning to merge. Sadus brought intellectual songwriting to the brutality, avoiding simple headbang rhythms in favor of complex time signatures and intricate arrangements. An essential record for anyone serious about early 1990s extreme metal, and particularly sought after by collectors of Roadracer's golden era output.
