Mansfield, Nottingham (UK) - NWOBHM heroes SAVAGE have released the official video for "Lock N Load," a track from 2015 album 7. Check it out at the link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7JU9At9u84

 

SAVAGE released a new studio album 7 on Minus 2 Zebra in late 2015. Included with the double-album is a live performance disc titled Live N Lethal.  The album can be purchased at: http://www.savageband.com/#!product/prd2/4355419415/7-live-n-lethal-cd.

 

The band has also announced several upcoming live appearances, as follows:

21 May       Real Time Live - Chesterfield, UK

24 Sep        Heavy Metal Maniacs Festival - P60, Amstelveen, Holland

15 Oct         British Steel Saturday Night Festival #5 - Fismes, France

3 Dec         O2 Academy - Sheffield, UK

 

7 features 12 blistering new tracks, which mix old with new. Many of the tracks are fast paced and hark back to the early days whilst tracks such as "Superspy' and Empire Of Hate' sound akin to something off a modern OZZY album or even METALLICA at their best! Live N Lethal features 13 live tracks. Included is the entirety of classic 1983 debut album Loose N Lethal, which is given a fresh treatment in the form of a recently recorded gig in the band's hometown of Mansfield (UK). The Loose n Lethal album is delivered at a furious pace, along with a few choice tracks from the band's back catalogue.

 

Fun Fact: The song "Let it Loose" was covered by METALLICA on their first demo Hit the Lights. Stream the live version of the track from Live N Lethal at this location.

 

SAVAGE, once credited for influencing METALLICA to play fast, the band has a strong history starting out in the 80s. Even though the band has often been linked to the NWOBHM movement, their roots are more in the vintage classic rock with a modern feel. Influences such as THIN LIZZY and DEEP PURPLE abound and yet with new material they sound incredibly contemporary and fresh. Their debut album, Loose n Lethal

 became a classic and was the biggest selling independent import in to USA in its day. The band have had a stop-start career but came back with a vengeance in 2012 with the epic 

Sons Of Malice. The band has been busy ever since on the live scene in the UK and Europe and most recently an Italian tour earlier this summer.
