Savage Master is one of, if not the, leading truly underground traditional metal bands in the scene today. The album is full of memorable riffs and songs, showing a band that is at the peak of their creativity. Stacey Savage's vocals are perhaps at their most polished so far - gone are the growing pains of those first few records, and I think she's truly found her voice here. Likewise, all the other instruments are similarly polished, and they all shine on this recording. What is the same as in the past is the occult nature of the lyrics, and it fits their metal extremely well, with an almost King Diamond-like perfection. The devil and metal do go hand-in-hand, you know. I look forward, now that the band has found its footing sound-wise over the past couple of records, to seeing what they do next. It's almost as if their first couple of LPs were demos, just showing us what they had the potential to do. Now they get to show us the results of that potential.
