Since the mid-'80s, Barrence Whitfield has dedicated his life to reminding people that rock & roll and rhythm & blues are not separate but equal institutions, but healthy branches of the same tree; on-stage or in the studio, Whitfield howls vintage R&B tunes with the fury of a hot-wired rock band, and belts out vintage-style rock with a healthy portion of swagger and soul. In Whitfield's world, it's all loud and furious, and makes you want to dance, and really, who doesn't want some of that in their life? After a detour through other projects, Whitfield resurrected the Savages in 2011, and 2015's Under the Savage Sky, the group's third album since returning to duty, stands proudly alongside mid-'80s landmarks like Dig Yourself and Ow! Ow! Ow! as a master class in souped-up and full-bodied roadhouse rocking.

Sanaé s'apprête à intégrer la Savage task, unité d'élite de Celestia dont le but est d'exterminer les Sauvages, un peuple primitif qui organise régulièrement des raids pour tuer les Celestiens.

Among headbangers, the Wacken Open Air Festival (held annually in Wacken, Germany) inspires the type of excitement that people in other areas of music feel for the Montreux Jazz Festival, the Chicago Blues Festival, or the Philadelphia Folk Festival. In other words, Wacken Open Air is a big deal in the metal world just as Montreux is a big deal among jazz enthusiasts and the Philadelphia Folk Festival is a big deal if one is seriously into folk. And whenever Wacken Open Air takes place, it's a safe bet that some bands will be doing some recording and/or filming for a live release…

More hard-rock than heavy metal, L.A.'s Babylon A.D. get the commercial sound right on Nothing Sacred, despite the tacky cover artwork. More muscular and real than most of the pop-metal to hit the charts in recent years, one can only hope that groups like this will continue to supplant Poison-type dross. The live-wire guitars on uptempo material like "Sacrifice Your Love" and "Psychedelic Sex Reaction" owe a debt to Michael Schenker from his UFO days; lead vocalist Derek (just Derek to you) sings as if life itself depended on every note; the group delivers powerful, memorable ballads on "So Savage the Heart" (serious hit material) and "Down on the River of No Return" without resorting to power-ballad cliché; and integrates some cool banjo picking on the Aerosmith-like "Dream Train."
