This is an exciting demo and tells me Sadus may be one of the few thrash bands I dig a lot. The riffz are plentiful, diverse, fast, slow, heavy, punky, and the record is super fun in that regard. Just listen to the first half of 3 for instance. This is quite aggressive, especially for 86. Now, they do fall in the usual traps of thrash, with wankery solos for example on the second halves of 1,4 or 5, shrieky vocals that often get annoying (but also kind of have a cool bmey vibe to them in places), things like that. But it is never completely awful like I've seen with other bands, and is usually quite short lived. If they drop those elements in their later discog, they might be a top tier thrash band in my book. 3.6
