Sweet Savage
Sweet Savage are a heavy metal band from Belfast, Northern Ireland, formed in 1979. Future Dio & Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell and Deep Purple guitarist Simon McBride were members of the band. Since forming in 1979, Sweet Savage have released three studio albums, three singles and one demo. Their latest album, Regeneration, was released in 2011.
Considered one of the pioneers of the new wave of British heavy metal movement alongside acts such as Iron Maiden, Saxon, Diamond Head, and Def Leppard, due to a handful of songs, most notably, played and recorded live on the BBC Radio One - The Friday Rock Show. The band however, only released two singles in their first incarnation, failed to record a single album and thus success eluded them, leading to a hiatus by 1983.
The band reconvened in 1984 with a different line-up, but did not last long. The band reformed for a second time in the 1990s, following Metallica's cover of their song "Killing Time" as a B-side for their "The Unforgiven" single, recording two albums, before going on hiatus for a third time. Sweet Savage then reformed in 2008, recording their third studio album, Regeneration, which was released in 2011. The band has remained active since reforming in 2008 and have just released their forth album, Bang, with German record label earMUSIC in 2025.
