Sweet Savage stand as stalwarts of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM), emerging from the United Kingdom in 1979 and making a lasting impact on the heavy metal landscape. Renowned for their distinctive blend of raw energy and melodic craftsmanship, they have consistently held the respect of discerning fans and peers alike. Their catalogue includes highly regarded releases such as the forthcoming album "Bang", set for release in September 2025, as well as acclaimed records like "Regeneration" and the classic "Killing Time".

The band’s recent live music ventures have demonstrated their enduring appeal.
