So four of these guys are already accustomed to playing Savage Grace-type music, but what about the singer? Alex Stahl is actually a phenomenal vocalist. Like both Savage Grace albums before it, Back With A Vengeance is a blazing heavy/speed metal album filled with genuinely original material (well, other than the cover and The Templars' Gold, but more on that later). Yes, the band name, logo and imagery (well, mostly Knutson) are all in tribute to Savage Grace (the instrumental part of this band was the touring line-up for Savage Grace back in '09-'10, for those unaware), but musically they fill the musical gap which Savage Grace left behind them. Some people might write Masters of Disguise off as an unremarkable Savage Grace clone, but they would be making a terrible mistake. but I wouldn't dream of leaving anyway, because this album is fantastic.

Savage Grace’s “Master of Disguise” is a melodic, playful and timeless album somewhere between heavy, speed and thrash metal stylistics with a few glam and punk stylistics thrown in. While most speed metal bands sound negative in their aggressive approach, Savage Grace sound like they were enjoying themselves a great deal while recording this cult classic in the mid-eighties. The vocals are youthful, passionate and melodic and will please fans of early heavy metal, glam metal and even punk rock alike. The rhythm section is quite energetic with a vibrant audible bass guitar sound and playful drum patterns that are give the opportunity to shine on multiple occasions. The guitar riffs are tight, pitiless and energetic while the guitar solos find the perfect balance between melody and energy. The musicianship is fast but very skilled. This re-issue include five bonus songs from the early Mini-LP “The Dominatress” and other bonus songs that offer even more value for money. The Californian quintet offers nine energetic songs with a concise running time of thirty-five minutes. Savage Grace’s debut record “Master of Disguise” is a critically overlooked speed metal gem that oozes with charisma. Deluxe 2-CD re-issue of a Classic 80’s Speed Metal record!
