2CD released: Feb 18, 2022
Deluxe two CD edition. Savage GraceÆs debut record ôMaster of Disguiseö is a critically overlooked speed metal gem that oozes with charisma. The Californian quintet offers nine energetic songs with a concise running time of thirty-five minutes. This re-issue include five bonus songs from the early Mini-LP ôThe Dominatressö and other bonus songs that offer even more value for money. The musicianship is fast but very skilled. The guitar riffs are tight, pitiless and energetic while the guitar solos find the perfect balance between melody and energy. While most speed metal bands sound negative in their aggressive approach, Savage Grace sound like they were enjoying themselves a great deal while recording this cult classic in the mid-eighties. Savage GraceÆs ôMaster of Disguiseö is a melodic, playful and timeless album somewhere between heavy, speed and thrash metal stylistics with a few Glam and Punk stylistics thrown in. The final result sounds absolutely unique, grows with every spin and hasnÆt lost any of its charm in three and a half decades and counting. |
