KING SAVAGE are undoubtingly an old-school Heavy Metal band, that with the simplest listen brings you back to the good old days when Heavy Metal was not only a good type of music, but a way to live by and a reason to live for. The band members of an unknown band named LUCKY TWIST got together by the name KING SAVAGE in order to make something clean, classic and mainly fun. "Full Speed Ahead" is their debut album produced under the new name.

I do believe, like many old school albums of this kind, the main idea of it was to have fun. I think the purpose of this album, to enjoy themselves and play the most fun music ever known to man, was achieved in so many levels. The album is fun, fast and simple, and that's everything needed from an album like that. The guitars here are not overly complicated, yet once in a while there's an interesting solo like in the song "Looser". The drums here are light and supporting the music exactly as needed, and so is the bass that even comes out once in a while for a cute riff that is even heard under everything. The front side of the band is shared between Arthur King and Luke Le Duke that are each showing out, in their special way, their deep heavy voice. It might be true to say that traditionally, Heavy metal singers are in need of a much higher, pitchy-er voice, yet for their crazy attempt it is more than enough.

The songs in this album are short, fast and fun which all together makes the album incredibly easy to listen to. Everything about this music is like the book decided Heavy metal should be, and it works. I do believe in a few more years of work the products will be even better, but they sure are a group you traditional Heavy metal lovers should keep an eye on.
