Sweet Savage releases new album ‘BANG’ through earMUSIC.

Formed in Belfast in 1979 by bassist and vocalist Ray Haller and future Dio/Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell, Sweet Savage were part of the first wave of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal.

But unlike their peers, Sweet Savage never released a full album during their first run. Instead, they became underground legends, gaining wide recognition after Metallica covered their track ‘Killing Time’ and released it as the B-side of their multi-platinum single ‘The Unforgiven’. The friendship between the two legendary bands continues to this day.

Ray Haller, Marty McCloskey, and Phil Edgar return with an album that simply sounds massive, elevating their sound to a whole new level. Produced by Ray Haller and Simon McBride, ‘BANG’ includes 13 unmistakable Sweet Savage tracks, from the explosive title track ‘Bang’, the fast-paced ‘The Chosen One’ and ‘I Don’t Know’, to the more reflective and slower ‘Live and Die’.

Frontman Ray Haller is backed by longtime drummer Marty McCloskey and guitar force Phil Edgar. The album features guitar work by former band member Simon McBride, who toured and recorded with the band before launching his solo career and joining Deep Purple.

Sweet Savage is back with a BANG – and yes, the album hits as hard as the title suggests.
