Bio

Sweet Savage est un groupe de heavy metal britannique, originaire de Belfast, en Irlande du Nord. Vivian Campbell commence sa carrière de guitariste dans ce groupe à l’âge de seize ans. Depuis 1979, Sweet Savage a sorti quatre albums studio, trois singles et une démo.

Bien qu’étant considéré comme l’un des pionniers de la New wave of British heavy metal, aux côtés de groupes tels qu'Iron Maiden, Saxon, Motörhead ou Def Leppard, et l’une des principales influences de groupes comme Metallica, le succès commercial n'est pas au rendez-vous, et la séparation intervient en 1982.

Le groupe se reforme en 1984 avec de nouveaux membres, mais ne dura pas. Une nouvelle reformation se passe dans les années 1990 à la suite de la reprise du morceau Killing Time par Metallica pour leur single The Unforgiven.

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 four studio albums, three singles and one demo.

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 released their fourth album, Bang, with German record label earMUSIC in 2025.
