Following their much-acclaimed, latest studio album Born Demon (released in October 2022 via Drakkar Entertainment HERE!), Norwegian trve heavy metal trio Sahg has shared a brand new single from their upcoming EP, entitled "More of Nothing"! Featuring four previously-unreleased songs, Sahg's new EP will be available as digital format on November 29, 2024.

After Sahg recently shared the EP title track, today, the band is premiering "Children of the Revolution", a cover version of UK glam rock pioneers T.Rex!
Sahg frontman Olav Iversen reveals:
«We have worked onward as the ’Toxic Trio’ since Born Demon, and passed even new limits for what this three-piece can achieve.
While recording the new EP, we had some time to play around with cover songs. And when discussing which songs to jam, one of the crucial questions became «What’s the heaviest riff in history?» One of the very first songs that came to mind was Children of the Revolution by T.Rex. It is so epic and simplistic, and weighs a million tons. We thought we would try to slow it down and tune it even lower than the original, but ended up with the same tempo and tuning. It already had the perfect pace and weight that hits you straight in the gut. We just left out the strings, carved it into the Toxic Trio format, and added a heavy metal touch to it, and it was perfect! This is our tribute to the great Marc Bolan and his brilliant talent as an artist and songwriter.
As proven throughout Sahg’s history, we are not afraid to try something new and just let it out there. On the other hand, some might say we are the most traditional metal band around! (laughs) So, I guess everyone will just have to give it a listen and make up their own minds about it.»

Entering the Norwegian metal scene in 2006 as a classic doom band, wasn’t necessarily a recipe for success. Black metal was still the big thing coming from Norway, and there wasn’t much space for bands from other subgenres. Even with Gorgoroth members King ov Hell and Kvitrafn in the line-up, adding a touch of blackness, it wasn’t very likely that Sahg would get an instant break-through. But, the band took the heavy music scene by storm with their blistering, chart-breaking debut Sahg I.
Throughout the following years, Sahg released six critically acclaimed albums, and played several tours and festivals across Europe, the United States and Asia to date. They have toured as support act for bands like Motörhead, W.A.S.P., Opeth, Clutch, Satyricon, Dimmu Borgir and Enslaved to name just a few, and appeared at prestigous festivals such as Wacken Open Air, Summer Breeze, Sweden Rock Festival, Hard Rock Hell, Tons of Rock, Inferno Festival and Beyond the Gates among many more. To this day, Sahg has always stayed trve to their doom and heavy metal roots, and still holds the throne as Norway’s high guardians of doomed heavy metal. They are the bastard sons of Black Sabbath, Motörhead, Pentagram and Judas Priest. Classic heavy metal for the new age, with a desire for the occult, aversion for religion, and a gloomy gaze into the inevitable apocalypse, all served with a cold bite of Norwegian Blackness. With the ruthless force of a classic power trio, Sahg is part of a renaissance that will bring vintage doom and classic heavy metal back to the masses. Following their latest, much-acclaimed studio album Born Demon in 2022, the band unleashed a live record, Live Demons, and is currently gearing up for the release of their "More of Nothing" EP, due out on November 29, 2024 via Drakkar Entertainment.
