Debut album “Demonic Assault” is out now

Savage Mania’s “Demonic Assault” is one of the best Thrash records I’ve heard in the last 20 years, outside of a few legendary veterans still out there swinging for the fences. This album pleases the absolute hell out of me. The second the vocals kicked in, I got chills. Instantly I was back in my local Record Bar, clutching cassettes of Destruction’s “Infernal Overkill,” Slayer’s “Hell Awaits,” and Whiplash’s “Power and Pain.” That same electricity. That same feeling that something dangerous and important had just entered my life“, praises Andy Burke of American BLACK ANGEL webzine.

„This is the kind of debut that makes a statement. It’s a total rager that ignores every trend in favor of old-school violence. If you want something to listen to while you’re destroying your living room or speeding down a highway, this is it”, adds Yorgos A. from HEAVY METAL DARKNESS.

Björn Backes of German POWERMETAl.DE rounds it up: “These raw attacks that SAVAGE MANIA unleash on this debut are simply pure joy and a truly massive speed metal blast that fans of the first two KREATOR releases need to add to their collection just as much as lovers of the first two SLAYER albums.”

There is nothing more to add: SAVAGE MANIA bring back the spirit of old-school Thrash Metal – and they are real, honest, raw, brutal and they kill `em all!

“Demonic Assault” is out now and available on red colored vinyl and CD.

To celebrate the release day, SAVAGE MANIA reveal a video clip for the brain crusher “Master Of Hell“. “It is a true Savage Mania track that has everything you could possibly want: catchy hooks, fast riffs, heavy drums and ear-splitting vocals. It’s a song that begs you to headbang – and one that won’t leave you regretting the neck pain”, comments the band.

Let’s hop into the time machine and travel back 40 years to the 1980s. At that time, a rebellious thrash metal scene was developing in Germany, producing classics across the board. In 1985 KREATOR came up with „Endless Pain“; DESTRUCTION created “Infernal Overkill“ and SODOM released their EP „In The Sign Of Evil“. Not much later, TANKARD, HOLY MOSES, EXUMER, VIOLENT FORCE, DARKNESS and many others followed. A new era began, Teutonic thrash metal was born and caused a minor earthquake that still leaves its mark today.

The spirit of that era is authentically reflected in the sound of SAVAGE MANIA, a Swedish band formed in 2019. The quartet is genuine, bursting with energy, and launched their debut album, which can be mentioned in the same breath as the classics named above.

Drummer/Vocalist Viktor Suominen and guitar player Jesper Jönsson founded the band, trying to find their own old-school sound through covers. „We met when we were out drinking and a friend of ours introduced us to each other and we started to talk about metal and stuff like that“, remembers Suominen. It did not take long until vocalist/guitarist Oliver Rytkönen joined. „I have known Oliver since we were kids, so we have known each other for a long time. He actually wanted to play Punk, but me and Jesper convinced him during a night at the bar. He has a lot of enegry and his uniqe and agressive vocals enhance that.“ The line-up was completed only few weeks later with bassist Viktor Lundberg, who they met at a local show, played him some demos afterwards, that convinced him to join. „First time we rehearsed all together, everything felt good, like all the pieces have been connected and we all had a good time. We were around 20-24 years old, when we got together.“

All the songs develop naturally during their rehearsals, usually starting with a riff from Oliver. Everyone adds their ideas and luckily they keep their raw energy. „We are heavily inspired by many German Thrash bands, especially the early stuff, so for us it’s no suprise to hear people say our sound is similar to that. But we are of course also inspired by other bands, such as early Slayer, Whiplash a.o. But the German bands tend to reign supreme especially in quality. It’s the music we listen to and enjoy, so it’s natural that we draw alot of inspiration from it“, ads the drummer.

In 2022, their first single was released, called „The Face Of Death“. Not the very first track they wrote, „but we felt that this song was the right one to start with and release.“ In 2023, the ass-kickin‘ „Fasttrack“ followed and in 2025, SAVAGE MANIA self-released „Demonic Assault“, including the previously mentioned singles. The studio-time was an interessting experience. Viktor remembers: „We recorded our album in a skateboard hall, along with our friends from Aftersound who brought a truck with recording equipment. We only had two days to record the entire album, it was quite a hussle, but we made it and it sounds awesome.“

Since then, SAVAGE MANIA played some shows and festivals around their hometown in Bollnäs, but also in Gothenburg, where they performed at The-Abyss-Festival and were announced with:

„Pure thrash, pure chaos – this is SAVAGE MANIA“.

Nothing to add!

Although Bolnäs only has around 14.000 inhabitants, the town has always had an excellent metal scene. Leading the way in the 90s are TAD MOROSE, later on BLOODBOUND, and, of course, MORGANA LEFAY. Charles Rytkönen was their outstanding singer, Fredrik Lundberg played the bass. Like father, like son – and the fathers are obviously proud. „Yeah, they are. We sometimes ask for some advice, for stuff we are unsure about, just to see thier thoughts about things around the music business. We want to do things our own way, but we are happy for their support“, adds Lundberg.

Meanwhile, SAVAGE MANIA signed a record deal with FIREFLASH RECORDS (HOLY MOSES, WOLF a.o.) who reissue „Demonic Assault“ physically on May 15th, 2026 on a red-colored vinyl, a CD version and spread their name all around the globe. TESTAMENT once said: The first strike is deadly. This also counts for the eight tracks (plus intro) on „Demonic Assault“. SAVAGE MANIA keeps writing new songs, plays more shows and has the second attack already in their bloody mind.
