Following the explosive return of Belfast metal pioneers Sweet Savage with the title track Bang, the band now unleashes the next strike: The Chosen One is out now on all digital platforms.
Gritty, relentless, and riff-driven, The Chosen One is another sharp cut from the band’s upcoming album BANG, due September 12. Recorded with guitarist and producer Simon McBride – former Sweet Savage member and now with Deep Purple – the track carries the band’s classic DNA but pushes the sound into darker, more experimental territory.
“After a lot of discussion, we concluded that a new Sweet Savage record had to be different; we needed to break the mould and try something new and fresh”, says frontman Ray Haller.
The Chosen One shares the same urgency and rawness that runs through the whole album. “Some of the songs are written about the state of the world right now; they mark a moment in time where everything seems to have gone a little bit crazy”, Haller explains. “We want people to listen to the songs, read the lyrics and take their own personal meaning out of each track.”
BANG is Sweet Savage’s first studio album in 14 years. The band – Ray Haller (vocals/bass), Marty McCloskey (drums), and Phil Edgar (guitar)—will release the new album worldwide on September 12 via earMUSIC.
