Sadus

The original home of bassist extraordinaire and perennial session player/guest star Steve DiGiorgio, Sadus released three seminal thrash/death albums between 1988 and 1992, albums that have truly stood the test of time. Yet the band was dormant for long stretches in the intervening years, recording only two more studio albums in 1997 and 2006. As late as 2017 there was renewed talk of a new album, one several years in the making, but in April 2021 the band announced that the album was cancelled, signalling the end of the band.
