Part of the original thrash metal scene in the mid to later '80s, San Francisco's Sadus primitively consisted of members Darren Travis on vocals and guitar, Rob Moore on guitar, Steve DiGiorgio on basso, and Jon Allen on drums. The group began when all four members were attendance high school in 1984, and due to the circulation of such demos as 1986's DTP and 1987's Certain Death, the group reinforced a local following. By the terminal of 1988, the band issued a debut full-length on their own, highborn Illusions, produced by Metal Church guitar player John Marshall. This lED to a deal with the metal label Roadrunner Records, which issued Swallowed in Black in 1990; the group supported it a spell opening for Obituary and Sepultura. The following year, DiGiorgio lententide his bass playing talents to the recording of Death's Human record album, which helped introduce Sadus to a wider audience as they toured that same year with Morbid Angel in Europe for the first-class honours degree time.
Further releases followed -- Chemical Exposure and A Vision of Misery -- before the mathematical group leftfield Roadrunner. Shortly thenceforth, DiGiorgio rejoined Death to record their Individual Thought Patterns album, and this time, decided to tour with the banding as Sadus took a give out. In 1997, Sadus reunited to disc a new album for young label Mascot Records, just by this time, Moore had leftfield the grouping. Undeterred, the group carried on as a triad, releasing Elements of Anger (produced by illustrious thrash/death metal producer Scott Burns) in 1998. DiGiorgio has become one of the genre's almost sought-after bassists, as he's played with such other bands as Dragonlord, Autopsy, and Iced Earth. By 2000, it appeared as though Sadus was put on adjudge however over again, as the rhythm method section of DiGiorgio and Allen recognized an invitation to conjoin Testament.
