Pre-Order: Indulgence / Abstract Reality - Red [Colored Vinyl] (Gate) (ONLINE ORDER ONLY)

By 1987, Nasty Savage were no longer just the feral newcomers from Florida's underground-they were evolving into something darker, sharper, and more deliberate.Originally released on Metal Blade Records, Indulgence (1987) expanded the band's early thrash foundation into more progressive territory. The riffs grew tighter and more technical. The structures became more ambitious. The atmosphere turned more sinister. Yet the theatrical volatility that defined Nasty Savage from the beginning remained fully intact.Paired here with the 1988 Abstract Reality EP, this definitive edition captures the band at a critical moment in Florida metal history-bridging the gap between raw mid-80s thrash and the darker extremity that would soon define the region.Nasty Savage's early appearance on Metal Massacre VI helped establish them as serious players in the American underground. By the time of Indulgence, their influence was already taking root locally. 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 the band's place in the region's lineage.Musically, the material balances razor-edged thrash aggression with dramatic, unpredictable vocal delivery that draws comparisons to King Diamond, while maintaining the intensity and precision fans of Slayer and Dark Angel expect.This Brutal Planet Records Metal Icon Series edition unites the complete 1987 Indulgence LP and the full 1988 Abstract Reality EP across two Blood Red vinyl LPs, housed in a premium gatefold jacket and limited to just 300 copies worldwide. Remastered by Rob Colwell (Flotsam, Helstar, Geoff Tate, Nevermore), the audio has been carefully restored to enhance clarity and depth while preserving the aggressive character of the original recordings.This is more than a reissue-it is a snapshot of Florida metal in transition.Ambitious. Darker. Uncompromising.For fans of King Diamond, Slayer, Dark Angel, Possessed!
