Classic Metal.......2007-03-17

Savage's 1983 album Loose `n Lethal is so metal it hurts! If someone were looking for the perfect example of what the vaunted New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) sound was all about, this album does the job nicely. Savage's sound was not too far removed from bands like Iron Maiden and Saxon, though their guitars were a lot more distorted. The resulting sound is a little crunchier, a little dirtier, and all metal - fast, heavy, and aggressive. If hearing this album doesn't have you dusting off the leather jacket and studded wristbands, nothing will!

The 2001 Metal Blade reissue of Loose `n Lethal features digitally remastered sound and three bonus tracks (demo recordings from 1980). It's not quite as deluxe as some of the Sanctuary NWOBHM reissues, but it put a long out of print classic album back on the market, so I can hardly complain.

This is a must-have for all NWOBHM fans, and metal fans in general should own it as well.

WOW.......2005-08-14

an absolute sonic assault of the senses. Loose n Lethal has the honour of having the all time OVER THE TOP distorted guitar works that truly sets this album apart. album's material sat on the shelf as the band toiled the UK pub scene and it was finally put on vinyl as the NWOBHM had already begun to set apart the mainstays like Maiden and Saxon from the soon to be obsure. For that reason, Savage never really stood a chance. but nevertheless,an @ss kicking metal album for the ages.

Classic NWOBHM.......2002-05-14

Blistering metal from Mansfield based band who never quite followed this classic.
The album boasts a fine collection rifftastic aural assaults which sound like they were recorded yesterday, not in the early '80's. The guitar sound leaves your speaker cones in shreds, an effect I understand the band acheived simply by turning all levels up to the max !
Metallica's "Kill 'Em All" owes more than a nod to this album. Indeed, so impressed was a young Lars Ulrich that Metallica regularly covered album opener "Let It Loose" in their early days.
Simply a classic. Now remastered with bonus tracks. A must for fans of full on metal. Buy this album - it rocks !!

A must for any NWOBHM fan.......2000-11-28

One of the greatest, and most obscure bands from the NWOBHM scene circa 1981-82. Melody -wise similar to early Maiden or maybe VERY early Def Leppard, but what sets this album apart from the rest is its truly brutal guitar sound. Incredibly raw, like being hacked to death with a giant chainsaw, overmodulated, way in the red, and barely restrained. This album still sounds as awesome today as it did on vinyl in 1982. Highly recommended to fans of the metal genre esp. NWOBHM.
