Master of Disguise (1985)
This album was the best from Savage Grace they made a mix of power metal and speed metal, they had another vocalist which made the band sound really different from their first release.

With the track of Bound to be Free it tells you how the rest of the album will be like. Fast paced, with great drumming and bass playing, they combine in a way that it sounds very powerful and besides the voice makes it sound very strong speed metal. In their previous album they had none of this, more riffs are added, complex ones and guitars that can sound hign pitched. Solos are great and I think the climax of this album is Master of Disguise. It begins with a drumming solo and again a super fast song with many arragements that prove perfect. They still have some of the style in lyric writing when it comes to the chorus. Fear My Way and Betrayer are slower but yet in the same style. Savage Grace sticks to their power in their bass and their guitar work can be very fast or just simply to let the string vibrate and then change into something else. In the whole most songs make the album great it's not like Fifth Angel were they had incredible songs and some that were not to complex enough. The lyrics in Master of Disguise are superb, in the chorus it says the following "I'm the devil, the Master of Disguise", these sort of lyrics are the ones I like, if you get to listen to Tokyo Blade's Night of the Blade you'll see what I mean. Too bad this style remained only for one album, it was great.
