CD’s AVAILABLE AT THESE FINE SHOPS:
Savak is an electronic band! Savak is rock ’n’ roll! A dark light in a bright world. And an industrial powerhouse!
Savak is a master of tension and intelligent soundscapes: his music never becomes boring. - New Empire Magazine
These dark instrumentals are just the break you need from all that jerking off to Britney Spears-or perhaps perfect for jerking off the Britney Spears. - Zero Magazine
A diverse, timely sonic exploration of the present, wary era we all must acknowledge. - Outburn Magazine
The atmosphere is laced with distraught, tattered sheets of noise, unveiling music as uncompromising as the subject matter. - Alternative Press
Savak was formed in 1997 by Scott B., formerly of the seminal 90’s darkwave / industrial outfit, Holocaust Theory, and label head of Possessive Blindfold/Unit Records and Heat Slick Records. Savak became Beebe’s side project of Holocaust Theory. Savak was meant to be a musical outlet for Beebe’s views on terrorism and counter-terrorism.
Savak first release was the highly anticipated "Four Hundred Forty Four Days" CD (Possessive Blindfold) in 2000. The music and ideology of this release was the Iranian hostage crisis of 1979 where American hostages were held captive in Tehran for 444 days. The music blended dark, cinematic soundscapes with brutal industrial percussion and bleak soundtrack escapes.
Savak toured relentlessly in the USA, Latvia, Belgium, Netherlands, Denmark, France, and Germany for the Four Hundred Forty Four Days. The touring and the CD made Savak a name to be recognized in the dark industrial scene. Positive reviews from media made it even better.
2000-2002 saw Beebe writing material for the follow up release. The new release was to be based on the Taliban regime of Afghanistan. The CD entitled "The Taliban Pistol" was set be released in Sept. 2001 to coincide with Savak’s tour of France and Germany. But with the events of 9/11. Beebe decided to postpone the release until March 2002. The European tour still went on where Savak performed new tracks of The Taliban Pistol in Paris, Bordeaux, and the fabled Maschinefest in Aachen, Germany.
The Taliban Pistol CD, released on Unit Records, featured remixes by Dryft, DJ Tron, Exclipsect, and Element 11 and went further into the depths of electronica where the new music explored elements of trip-hop, drum & bass, and ambient mixed with traditional industrial undertones. Again, reviews were great but Savak did not tour as much as before with this release.
2003-2004 saw Beebe taking a break from Savak to launch Heat Slick Records and try some new musical avenues. In November 2005, Savak struck back with new music, a new release, and a new label. The release was a split CD with long time pal, Zymosiz, on the French M-Tronic label. This release was the 3rd release in M-Tronic’s Chemical Elements series. 2006 found Savak touring Europe with Zymosiz and doing limited shows in the USA.
So far in 2007, Savak has contributed a new an unreleased track to the Table of Elements 2 compilation released by M-Tronic Records, has licensed music to a number of different films including Newbie Sports, Indian Skiing featuring Franceso Quinn (24, Platoon, Placebo Effect, Young and the Restless) released by Viral Vector Media. Savak also was joined by Beebe’s long time friend, Rusty, to play bass. More touring and film/tv licensing opportunites are coming up in 2008 so.....stay tuned for more!!!.
