New Sadus material would be laid down throughout September and October before Di Giorgio joined the ranks of Sebastian Bach's band for further European touring in December. Gigs in August marked a first for Sadus as they toured Chile alongside Torturer whilst on South American dates. Di Giorgio then took time out to record with Artension then hit the European festival circuit with Testament. In April the group toured Europe, taking in shows in Greece, Italy, Sweden and appearing at Norway's Inferno Metal Festival in Oslo. However, just days after the official press release confirming these shows the band withdrew as drummer Jon Allen's commitments to his 11-year-old daughter, who had just undergone open heart surgery, took precedence.ĭespite Steve Di Giorgio commitments in 2004 to Testament, the band did increase activity that year. Sadus announced they were to partner up with fellow thrash veterans Nasty Savage and high-profile Finnish act Finntroll for European mainland dates in December. The Hammerheart label would put the band's original Death To Posers 1986 demo onto CD in 2003, adding a brace of cuts from a 1988 session, Certain Death, as a bonus. The project allied the Sadus pairing with Testament vocalist Chuck Billy as well as drummer Per Moller Jensen of The Haunted and guest guitar from the much travelled, Death and Cancer guitarist James Murphy. News during the summer of 2002 would reveal that frontman Darren Travis and bassist Steve Di Giorgio were embarking on another all star union billed as Suicide Shift.

Sadus as a trio, Elements of Anger and hiatus (1993–2005) Di Giorgio was to return for club shows with Sadus but before any momentum could be gained Moore bailed out. Further setbacks occurred when Di Giorgio was enticed back to Death for the Individual Thought Patterns album and a subsequent year-long bout of touring. Although a further album for Roadrunner, 1992's A Vision of Misery, resulted in a European headline tour, Sadus found itself labelless upon their return. With this added exposure Roadrunner re-released the Illusions debut retitled Chemical Exposure as Sadus regrouped for a summer American tour opening for Morbid Angel. Sadus was put on hold for 1991 as Di Giorgio opted to assist Death for their Human album. The pace of progress was quickened as a deal with label Roadrunner Records was secured resulting in a further album Swallowed in Black and touring with the likes of Sepultura and Obituary. Quick to capitalize on this achievement Sadus stuck their hands in their pockets to self finance the debut album pulling in Metal Church guitarist John Marshall as producer. These sessions led directly to the inclusion of two tracks on the 1987 Raging Death compilation album. A year later, the band would release their demo tape D.T.P.
