Sweet Savage
Belfast's Sweet Savage are NWOBHM pioneers who counted future Def Leppard and Dio guitarist Vivian Campbell among their original members. Their song 'Killing Time' gained renewed fame when Metallica covered it as a B-side, and after multiple reformations, the band released their fourth album 'Bang' in 2025, proving that four decades have not diminished their riff-writing power.
