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.
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.

– Metal Talk
“Savage’s style is timeless, drawn from the rough n tumble pub rock honed in smoky working men’s clubs of the north, taking in the hard rock of the 70s, and 80s metal from the US and NWOBHM to create the fast n loose rock that can be appreciated by connoisseurs, bikers n headbangers alike from big, swaggering rockers to fast thrashers to blues boogie rockers and down n dirty metal.”
