Based in Bavaria, Germany, Savagegroup grew out of a lifelong friendship and a shared commitment to making metal on their own terms. Founded by Thomas in 2018, the project began as a creative outlet shaped by his experience as a multi-instrumentalist. When the search for a vocalist failed during the recording of the debut album, Wall of Fear (2018), Thomas stepped behind the microphone himself. What began as a practical solution became part of the band's unconventional identity, built on creative freedom, humor, and a lack of ego.
The band's massive sonic foundation is driven by rhythm guitarist Daniel and bassist Tommy, whose contributions extend beyond the instrumental arrangements. Together, they also create the elaborate operatic choirs that give Savagegroup its distinctive theatrical dimension.
Following the debut album and Thomas's hard-rock solo project Trust Me (2020), the trio has spent recent years developing Fallen Angel, an upcoming album scheduled for release in 2027. Their decision to remain exclusively a studio project reflects a deliberate focus on songwriting, recording, and the meticulous construction of their sound rather than live performances or touring.
For Savagegroup, the studio is where the music belongs. Their approach prioritizes the details of each arrangement, creating compositions intended to be experienced at full volume, with every layer given room to breathe.
“An Angel Had to Go Home” captures that philosophy through a blend of technical musicianship, emotional storytelling, and unapologetically theatrical metal. It is a reminder that the genre can be as expansive and emotionally complex as it is powerful.
