(NWOBHM / Heavy Metal / Speed Metal / Hard'n'Heavy) Savage - Дискография - 1981-2012, MP3, 192-320 kbps

Культовая британская группа Savage была создана в 1976 году в Мэнсфилде вокалистом и басистом Крисом Брэдли (Chris Bradley). В первый (школьный) состав Savage кроме него входили вокалист Крис Гент (Chris Gent), гитарист Ли Слэтхэм (Lee Slatham) и ударник Мик Персивал (Mick Percival). Однако, эта инкарнация состава просуществовала меньше года, отыграв лишь несколько концентров.

Вторую попытку Брэдли предпринял в конце 1978 года, пригласив в группу своего брата, ударника Саймона Брэдли (Simon Bradley), гитариста Энди Брэдбюри (Andy Bradbury) и гитариста Энди Доусона (Andy Dawson). Однако вскоре состав снова поменялся, ушли Саймон Брэдли и Брэдбюри, появились в Savatage гитарист Уэйн Реншоу (Wayne Renshaw) и ударник Дэйв Линдли (Dave Lindley).

Группа дебютировала на компиляции Scene Of The Crime (1981) c композициями "Let It Loose" и "Dirty Money". Вскоре после этого события Линдли принял решение перебраться в Dawn Trader, а его место занял Марк Браун (Mark Brown, ex-Tyrant). Наконец весной 1982 года поступило первое предложение от рекорд-компании, и вскоре Savage обнаружили себя под контрактом у "Ebony Records". В том же году увидел свет и первый сингл квартета "Ain't No Fit Place", заглавная песня которого вошла также в сборник Metal Fatique (1982).

И сингл и сборник отлично продавались, и это убедило компанию финансировать дебютный альбом группы Loose'N'Lethal — один из лучших британских металлических альбомов того времени. Помимо продаж в Британии десятки тысяч пластинок были отправлены в виде экспорта во многие страны мира, включая Штаты, где Savage произвели неизгладимое впечатление на музыкантов Metallica. Те даже играли их вещь "Let It Loose".

В 1984 году группа появляется на культовом голландском фестивале Dynamo Open Air в одной обойме с Metallica, Venom и Tokyo Blade. К сожалению, рекорд-компания была увлечена заокеанскими успехами других своих актов (Grim Reaper, Shy), и Savage в результате приняли решение искать себе новый лейбл. Таким лейблом стала компания "Zebra Records". Так в 1984 году в магазинах появился новый макси-сингл группы "We Got The Edge", который продеманстрировал некоторую коммерческую направленность нового материала, но тогда на это мало кто обратил внимание.

Однако, когда вышел второй диск Hyperactive аудитория восприняла его неодобрительно, лейбл сократил свою поддержку, и в итоге в 1986 году группа распалась. Доусон, Браун и Реншоу создали проект Rebel, Брэдли образовал XL.

Лишь в 1995 году Брэдли воссоздал группу с Доусоном и Линдли и выпустил альбом "Holy Wars". Два года спустя с новым ударником Ричардом Кирком (Richard Kirk, ex-XL) трио записало очередной диск Babylon.

Hailing from heart of the UK, Savage were born out of the need for a bunch of teenagers to put their own stamp on hard rock. At the tender age of just 15 and 18 , founder members Chris Bradley and Andy Dawson set light to the local music scene by first rampaging through covers of their heroes such as Thin Lizzy, Ufo, Deep Purple and Van Halen.

But the band didn't drag their heels in penning original tunes, and as they were soon wowing local audiences with a blend of energetic new metal with a spinkling of covers, Savage were invited to participate in the seminal compilation album: 'scene of the crime', recording two barnstormers: 'let it loose' and 'dirty money'.

It was clear the band were head and shoulders above the rest of the crowd and in a lucky twist of fate thes 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! They recorded 'let it loose' which set Metallica on the road to creating their brand of thrash metal and secured them their first deal.
At around the same time, Savage were offered their first deal by Ebony records following the band's double A side single was released to strong reviews, and in 1983 Savage released the legendary 'LOOSE N LETHAL' album which stood out from much of the 'also ran' fodder at the time. The album received rave reviews from all who heard it and it was soon pronounced best selling metal import album in America.

The band played gigs throughout the uk and focussed especially on London including the notorious MARQUEE club made famous by Hendrix, the Stones and just about every star band you could mentiion. The Hard rock and heavy metal bible: 'KERRANG!' reviewed many of the london gigs. In 1984 the band took it to Europe and shared the bill with Metallica and Venom playing to 10,000 people and received outstanding reviews, yet again. Metallica knocked at Savage's dressing room door and asked to share a beer with the Savage boys. They later met up in London where more beer drinking ensued; this time it was for a Kerrang article on 'real ale'!

In 1985 Savage released their second album: 'HYPERACTIVE'. The album recived a 5* (K) review in Kerrang! followed by a UK tour with a homecoming sold out theatre show. Despite the success of the first two albums and live shows, the lack of support from both their record label and management caused much frustration with in the band and resulted in band infighting. So, in 1986, the band finally folded.

Bradley and Dawson continued to make music seperately for the next few years until finally due to demand the band reformed with original drummer Dave Lindley to record the comeback album HOLY WARS (on Neat Records). The album sold well here, europe and Japan and the guys played a cracking set at Germany's HEAVY ODER WAS festival.

Enjoying the return to form, they recorded their fourth studio album: 'BABYLON', which along with the video for the title track, was released to great reviews. The new material demonstrated Savage's ability to craft powerful, punchy classic rock, with Bradley's snearing vocals and thundering bass as a counterpoint for Dawsons outright riffing and searing solos, showing that British rock bands can have attitude, grit and punch! The new millenium brought 'XTREME MACHINE', an album full of mean grooving rock which brought new fans to the Brit Metal anthem boys. This was followed a year later with more live shows - the band hit America for the first time, with new boy MARK NELSON on drums, playing to US fans that had travelled across the continent to get a glimpse of the band. Next up was a trip back to Germany where the band performed a killer show at the famed WACKEN festival to fans old and new. And so...the time is upon us again for Savage to get down to what they do best, classic British Rock. Bradley, Dawson joined again by drummer Mark Nelson and new kid on the block Kristian Bradley on Guitar (son of Chris and nephew of Andy) are already preparing tracks for a new album. A release is planned in spring 2011 on the Minus2Zebra label and initial listenings show that the band are set to return to their roots with pounding brit rock anthems! So, look out and listen out, the British are coming!
