Nasty Savage to amerykański przedstawiciel popularnego w latach ’80 power/thrash metalu. Powstali w 1983 roku na Florydzie i tworzą do dziś. Ekipą dowodzi Nasty Ronnie, nieco postrzelony gość o posturze zapaśnika, który lubi sobie na scenie rozbić na głowie telewizor. Między innymi ze względu na tego typu wyczyny zespół zyskuje w połowie lat 80. lokalną sławę. Swoją najlepszą płytę nagrywa jednak, gdy sława ta powoli przygasa. Pod względem brutalności trudno "Penetration Point" zestawiać z mającym za chwilę zalać Florydę death metalem, to wciąż thrash, i to niekoniecznie najbardziej radykalnego sortu. Na tej płycie postanowili troszkę pokombinować i zwrócili się bardziej w kierunku technicznego grania. Na każdym kroku pojawiają się tu rozwiązania czy to riffy, czy też rytmiczne łamańce charakterystyczne właśnie dla florydzkiego metalu śmierci, szczególnie tego spod znaku Atheist. Jednak po tym albumie zaczęło się coś niedobrego dziać i zespół przestaje istnieć. W latach 2002-2012 coś tam próbowali pogrywać, ale z chyba z marnym skutkiem, bo w 2004 roku Metal Blade wydaje słabiutki album „Psycho Psycho”.
