Nasty Savage's legendary debut album was released in 1985 on Brian Slagel's Metal Blade Records, featuring brilliant tracks such as "Gladiator", "Fear Beyond The Vision" and "Asmodeus". Stylistically, Nasty Savage were totally unique, which in the era of heads down speed metal practised by the likes of Metallica, Slayer and Exodus did not really work in their favour. In his book "The Collector's Guide To Heavy Metal Volume 2: The Eighties" Canadian author Martin Popoff was clearly impressed but struggled to describe what Nasty Savage were all about: "Nasty Ronnie out-blasts Manowar on all philosophical tenets, constructing a verbal campaign of terror swathed in his backing arsenal's horrendously gothic display of power metal evoking Mercyful Fate, the heaviest from Iron Maiden, the blackest from old Priest, and all things leather-clad."
