Hailing from Groningen, The Netherlands, SAVAGE continue their march through the death metal underground with the announcement of their upcoming EP "Septic Tomb", set for release on July 6th 2026.
Born from the ashes of Dutch death metal outfit Entrapment, SAVAGE have quickly carved out a distinct identity rooted in the genre's formative years. Drawing inspiration from legendary acts such as Nihilist, Master and Repulsion, the band delivers death metal that remains faithful to the old-school spirit while standing out through strong songwriting, memorable riffs and carefully constructed arrangements. Their songs strike immediately, combining directness and authenticity with a level of craftsmanship that rewards repeated listens.
Following the release of their well-received three-song demo in 2023 through Dawnbreed Records, SAVAGE entered Germany's Soundlodge Studios in May 2025 to record four new tracks under the guidance of renowned producer Jörg Uken. The resulting material captures the band's raw and uncompromising approach while showcasing their ability to write memorable death metal without sacrificing intensity or atmosphere.
The vinyl edition of "Septic Tomb", to be released by MilkCow Records, will include both the four new songs and the band's 2023 demo, offering a complete snapshot of SAVAGE's work to date. The CD version will be released simultaneously through Dawnbreed Records and Necrolatry Records.
The band is already looking beyond this release. At the end of December 2025, SAVAGE will return to Soundlodge Studios to record five additional tracks for a future release, further cementing their commitment to carrying the torch of classic death metal.
To further mark this new chapter, SAVAGE will make their live debut at the legendary Kill-Town Death Fest in Copenhagen this September, bringing their raw and ugly sound to one of the most respected stages in the international death metal underground.
