Album Production Information: The album: "NASTY SAVAGE - Indulgence" was produced by: Nasty Savage Sound/Recording Engineer(s): Jim Morris Jim Morris is a highly respected sound engineer and music producer, renowned for shaping the sound of hard rock and heavy metal. Co-founder of Morris Brothers Sound Studios, he worked with bands like Nasty Savage and Crimson Glory, delivering groundbreaking production quality. Explore more about his legendary work on Jim Morris' biography. This album was recorded at: Morrisound Studio, Tampa, Florida Morrisound Recording Studio – Recording studio (Tampa, Florida) The Tampa room that basically industrialized death metal - because subtlety was never the point. Read more... Morrisound Recording Studio is the Tampa, Florida bunker that gave extreme metal a real, professional punch in the gut. Opened in 1981 by Jim and Tom Morris, it became the late-80s to mid-90s address I kept spotting in liner notes: Death (1988-1991), Obituary (1989-1992), Morbid Angel (1989-1993), Deicide (1990-1992), Cannibal Corpse (1990-1992) and a swarm of others. Even Sepultura leveled up here, mixing "Beneath the Remains" in early 1989 and tracking "Arise" in 1991. If you wanted drums to hit like a wrecking ball and guitars to saw through smoke, you booked Morrisound and stopped pretending. Yes, it is "just a studio" - and Tampa became a death-metal capital because of rooms like this. Morrisound Recording Studio Wiki Mastered at Criteria Studios, Miami, Florida Album cover design: Van Dercar Van Dercar worked on the album artwork of all "Nasty Savage" albums. Painter, sculptor and visual artist from Miami, Florida. 1911-1988 Album cover photography: Bill Otten, Frank White Frank White – Photographer Legendary metal photographer who captured the genre from the inside, not the sidelines. Read more... Frank White started photographing hard rock and heavy metal at an absurdly young age, already documenting giants like Led Zeppelin and Ronnie James Dio in his early teens. From 1975 until 2009 he followed Dio closely, resulting in one of the most complete visual archives of the singer’s career and a dedicated photobook. During the 1980s his raw, unpolished images appeared on album covers and inner sleeves for bands such as Anthrax, Overkill, Cro-Mags, Nuclear Assault, Hades, and many others, defining the look of underground metal at its peak.
