Rock Hard Magazine Germany writes: “The band rocks brilliantly on “Lost In Flames”. Stylistically, SABER is reminiscent of other flagship bands of the New Wave Of Traditional Heavy Metal such as Haunt, Visigoth or Ironflame and in terms of quality, they don’t need to hide from these formations either,” while Rock It! Magazine confirms, it’s “a fantastic album for all fans of NWoBHM!” “As much as I enjoyed the raw, aggressive debut, these are better constructs, with stronger tunes and performances, top to bottom”, attests Bravewords.com, and Metal Underground in Austria is convinced, that “SABER’s »Lost In Flames« is a triumphant addition to the contemporary heavy metal landscape.”
SABER is known for their uniquely sleazy take on the NWOTHM sound. The band emerged in 2018 after lead guitarist Joel Dominguez, who was already working on some similar material with rhythm guitarist Jesus Delgado and bassist David Sanchez, received a message from singer Steven Villa about starting a new 80s-inspired band.
A series of thundering tracks followed soon after, which were refined into their 2020 debut album “Without Warning”. Produced and released with the help of Trevor William Church (HAUNT), who also filled in as the drummer, the album received overwhelmingly positive reactions. Being named as one of Bandcamp’s best albums of the year and outranking EXODUS and IRON MAIDEN on “BraveWords” annual Top 30 list cemented their place on the scene.
Sonically and aesthetically, SABER’s artistic identity is firmly rooted in the 80s. With Jesus now as their drummer and the addition of guitarist Antonio ‘Yogi’ Pettinato, the fearsome fivesome draws from notable influences such as JUDAS PRIEST, QUEENSRYCHE, RIOT, CRIMSON GLORY and IRON MAIDEN. Through their own unique lens, they’ve created a distinctly energetic audiovisual experience that resonates with their diverse and growing fanbase. “We are heavily inspired by all 80s music, including the glam era. Though our looks are unmistakably glam, don’t let that fool you… our songs are heavy and loud!”, says Joel Dominguez. SABER quickly rose to the forefront of theNWOTHM scene, playing traditional heavy metal in a fresh way.
After two years playing and touring alongside legends like NIGHT DEMON, SACRED REICH, HAUNT and SCREAMER at playing well known events like Decibel’s “Metal and Beer Fest” and the sold-out “Hell’s Heroes Fest”, SABER finally releases their sophomore album, “Lost In Flames”. The new tracks mark a new chapter and unleashes a logical follow-up by a band that grew together and got more experienced.
Once again SABER went back to their friend and supporter Trevor at Church Recordings, where they recorded “Lost In Flames”, that was mixed and mastered by Darren Trentacoste. The result is fresh and unique, wild and… hungry! Make sure to get your copy of “Lost In Flames” HERE, an album that belongs into every well-sorted Heavy Metal record collection by one of the hottest and unique new bands of the NWOTHM scene, as the future of metal definitely belongs to SABER!
