The 3rd of April was a very special day for Athens' Heavy Metal fans, as one of thrash metal's most respected (with an underground profile though) names, Sadus, was about to perform live for the very first time in Greece.
Everyone that was aware of the band's history and bypast achievements, was able to apprehend the magnitude of that night's show and it was a big chance for the Greek audience to prove that they respect and appreciate the artistic rate of a band, which never had the popularity it deserved.

The 1st support band, Dream Devoid, tried to warm up the scanty Athenian crowd but their power_progressive metal left most of us wondering how on earth they gained their place in the bid, as their musical style had nothing to do with that of the headliner's.

They confronted many problems concerning their sound and that's pretty justified if you come to think the kind of music they play. I must say that I enjoyed their act, but Iced Earth's 'Burnt Offerings' cover was messed up and in my opinion, unnecessary and unexceptional.

The band following after, Kinetic, was obviously technically superior and more experienced so they easily gained impressions with their fast, sweeping Death_Thrash metal. I must admit that I didn't expect them to be that skillful and from now on I will keep them in mind, as they seem to fulfill all conditions to be put on the map.

A major plus was the comfort they showed on stage and the unruly cover of Slayer's 'Angel of death'.

The time was already 9 p.m. and the crowd coiled up in the middle of An Club, everybody knew that the big moment had arrived. Despite the audience's low attendance (we should be ashamed of ourselves when we are self-proclaimed as Europe's fervid Metal crowd when only 200, the furthest, people gathered for an urgent show like this one) Sadus literally DEMOLISHED the place, delivering extra aggressive music that followed the fine line between technical Thrash and Death Metal.

What can I say…? I consider myself very lucky for being present that night at the An Club and several reasons can justify the way I feel.
First of all, the mental father of Sadus, Steve DI Giorgio, is an object of research and that's out of question. The guy is simply astonishing getting on stage with two bass guitars (the one fretless), he was like saying to all of us ''Ok, tonight I'm gonna blow your f*****g brains out''. At times, he even reminded me of Geddy Lee when he played at the same time with remarkable ease both keyboards and bass! No matter how exciting all these may sound, let's get something straight over here: Steve DI Giorgio was NOT alone that night.

That's right…he had a first-class guitarist and an ablest vocalist (man I love this man's voice, he sounds like an hysteric, devilish creature) by his side and of course…a steam engine, a hurricane behind the drum set, a man who seemed to be able enough to wreck every god damn thing around him, Jon Allen. It's pointless to give extra credit to any of them as they seem to be a very tied band and each one of them is an integral part of the team.

The band performed songs from every album they have released with the same, unabated passion and if I were you I wouldn't bother searching for performing mistakes, they were flawless.

They stayed on stage for about 1h and 50 minutes and they annihilated everything in their way. This was for sure one night to remember, the attendants may rub their hands with satisfaction. The rest of you who had the opportunity to watch the show but eschew it, can start from now, saying your prayers that God might by any chance forgive you and bring Sadus back…
