SAVAGE MASTER - Dark & Dangerous CD

SAVAGE MASTER return with arguably their crowning achievement. Fittingly titled "Dark & Dangerous", the band's fifth album furthers the plausibly streamlined sound of its predecessor, where early/mid '80s stunners like Judas Priest's "Point of Entry" (moody and dynamic) and Jag Panzer's "Ample Destruction" (locomotion and drama) formed the crux of SAVAGE MASTER's refinement. On "Dark & Dangerous", that refinement continues, and it bears arena-ready HEAVY METAL gold. Gleaming steel, clean and clear, utterly HUGE in effect: one could here liken the record to Judas Priest's "Defenders of the Faith", so swaggering and surefire are SAVAGE MASTER. The leads likewise take a more melodic, triumphant turn, making these mid-tempo hooks hit HARD. Stacey Savage entrances as only she can, hitting the heights (and dark depths) of her by-now-signature delivery, with the sum effect truly sorcerous.
