Sadus
Sadus is a thrash and death metal band from Antioch, California, formed in 1984 by vocalist Darren Travis, guitarist Rob Moore, bassist Steve Di Giorgio, and drummer Jon Allen. Known for blending technical thrash with death metal aggression, the band debuted with Illusions (later reissued as Chemical Exposure) in 1988 and built a cult following through albums such as Swallowed in Black and A Vision of Misery. Bassist Steve Di Giorgio, who also played with Death and Testament, became one of the most celebrated technical metal bassists of his generation, and the band returned in 2023 with The Shadow Inside, their first new record in over two decades.
