│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ Hey look, the weirdest inside joke in all of ║ │
│║ metal is still going strong. Backstory: Masters ║ │
│║ of Disguise is a throwback speed metal act ║ │
│║ living and breathing to pay homage to a ║ │
│║ particularly obscure band from the 80s called ║ │
│║ Savage Grace. Who, you ask? Exactly. They were a ║ │
│║ good band but barely got any traction or ║ │
│║ notoriety despite a pretty solid outing with ║ │
│║ 1986s After the Fall From Grace. Now Masters of ║ │
│║ Disguise (named after Graceæs debut album) seek ║ │
│║ to revive their heroÆs nonexistent legacy due to ║ │
│║ some highly tenuous ties to the original singer. ║ │
│║ I reviewed their 2013 debut Back With a ║ │
│║ Vengeance and found it a fun, nostalgic nod to ║ │
│║ the era of speed, but assumed it was a one-off ║ │
│║ novelty (I mean, how could it NOT be?). Not so, ║ │
│║ as theyÆve since released another full-length of ║ │
│║ Savage Grace homages calledàahem, The Savage and ║ │
│║ the Grace, and a fun little EP of 80s metal ║ │
│║ covers as well. Alpha/Omega is their third album ║ │
│║ and itÆs still plenty savage, and somewhat ║ │
│║ graceful1. If this all seems a little bonkers ║ │
│║ conceptually, IÆm right there with you, but hey, ║ │
│║ when in Rome, enjoy of deep speed metal homage ║ │
│║ and donÆt think too much. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The plain truth is these cats are quite adept at ║ │
│║ recreating the 80s speed metal sound made famous ║ │
│║ by Agent Steel, Abattoir and their ilk. All the ║ │
│║ things that made Back With a Vengeance a fun ║ │
│║ listen are here in equal force, and if you grew ║ │
│║ up in the speed era, this will likely tickle ║ │
│║ your nostalgia bone. The essential ingredients ║ │
│║ for this specific style are frenetic, unhinged ║ │
│║ guitar-work and a singer who lives life with his ║ │
│║ scrotum firmly crushed in a vice. Masters of ║ │
│║ Disguise know this recipe well and liberally ║ │
│║ season the originality abyss with plenty of ║ │
│║ both. After the riffy opening instrumental ôThe ║ │
│║ Rise (and Fall) of Kingdomsö sets the mood, itÆs ║ │
│║ off to the races with album highlight ║ │
│║ ôSacrificeö and its commitment to over the top ║ │
│║ 80s metal cliches. Want to raise a fist? Do it ║ │
│║ here. Want to bang yer head? ThisÆll do it. Want ║ │
│║ to point at things dramatically? You found your ║ │
│║ huckleberry. Good fun and good, energetic music ║ │
│║ to go with it. ║ │
