From www.melodicrock.com :
Hard driving classic British hard rockers Savage, who were formed in 1979, just as the New Wave of British Heavy Metal was breaking, have regrouped after a ten year hiatus to record their brutal, infectious sixth studio album, 'Sons Of Malice', which was released on April 23 on Minus2Zebra Records, distributed by Plastic Head.
'Sons Of Malice', the title track itself, is an angry, resounding chorus and massive riff-led rant against the bankers whose self-absorbed greed and callousness dragged us down into recession, but have so far escaped with impunity, let alone huge unjustifiable bonuses. A powerful video for the song has already been shot and can be viewed here:
Inspired by the likes of Thin Lizzy, UFO, Deep Purple and Van Halen, Savage founder members Chris Bradley and Andy Dawson were just 15 and 18 when they first set light to the local East Midlands rock scene. Their aggressive guitar sound and relentless riffing was first captured on Suspect Records' seminal, 1981 compilation, 'Scene Of The Crime', for which Savage recorded two barnstormers – the proto-Thrash 'Let It Loose' and 'Dirty Money'. In a lucky twist of fate the album ended up in the hands of Metallica's drummer Lars Ulrich, who bought the album whilst in London. He couldn't wait to get back to the US to share the tracks with his fellow band mates and before long Metallica were playing Savage tracks themselves and recorded a demo of 'Let It Loose', which set them on the road to creating their brand of thrash metal and secured Metallica their first deal.
