Editing Sadus (section)

=== Sadus as a trio, ''Elements of Anger'' and hiatus (1993–2005) ===
Instead of replacing Moore, Sadus continued as a trio crafting the [[Scott Burns (record producer)|Scott Burns]] produced ''Elements of Anger'' in 1997. The in demand Di Giorgio, along with drummer Jon Allen, also operated a side project [[Dragonlord (band)|Dragonheart]] (later Dragonlord) with former Vicious Rumours and present day [[Testament (band)|Testament]] guitarist Steve Smyth and his fellow Testament six-stringer Eric Peterson. Di Giorgio teamed up with [[Iced Earth]] in late 2000. 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. The project allied the Sadus pairing with Testament vocalist [[Chuck Billy]] as well as drummer Per Moller Jensen of [[The Haunted (Swedish band)|The Haunted]] and guest guitar from the much travelled, Death and [[Cancer (band)|Cancer]] guitarist [[James Murphy (guitarist)|James Murphy]]. 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.

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. 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.

Despite Steve Di Giorgio commitments in 2004 to Testament, the band did increase activity that year. In April the group toured Europe, taking in shows in Greece, Italy, Sweden and appearing at Norway's [[Inferno Metal Festival]] in Oslo. Di Giorgio then took time out to record with Artension then hit the European festival circuit with Testament. Gigs in August marked a first for Sadus as they toured Chile alongside [[Torturer (band)|Torturer]] whilst on South American dates. 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. The bassist would also be announced as a contributor to recordings for Norwegian act [[Scariot]] in early 2005.
