RELEASES NEW STUDIO ALBUM “BANG”
TODAY – 12.09.2025
Today, we at earMUSIC are proud to release BANG, the brand-new album from Northern Ireland’s metal legends Sweet Savage.
Formed in Belfast in 1979 by Ray Haller (vocals/bass) and future Dio/Def Leppard guitarist Vivian Campbell, Sweet Savage were part of the first wave of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Their cult status was further cemented when Metallica covered their track “Killing Time” on the B-side of “The Unforgiven.”
With BANG, Sweet Savage return with full force – fusing their aggressive, fast-paced metal roots with industrial textures and punk energy. The result is a powerful new chapter that channels the band’s early fire while propelling their sound into an uncompromising new era.
Joining frontman Ray Haller, Marty McCloskey (drums), and Phil Edgar (guitar) is none other than Simon McBride – now guitarist for Deep Purple – who contributed both guitar parts and production to the album.
The album is now available on the following formats:
CD Digipak
Black LP
Limited Transparent Red LP
Digital
With BANG, Sweet Savage prove once again why they remain one of metal’s most enduring and influential forces.
