What you see here, is the new drummer in Sahg. As you probably understand, we had serious doubts about hiring this lunatic. But he turned out to be an excellent man with the right attitude and sense of commitment, and not the least, a bloody outstanding drummer! His name is Thomas Lönnheim, and he has brought a whole new groove to the table, as you will hear on the new album which is now in the making.
Nine new songs are so far ready for the new Sahg album coming out next year. For the moment, all we can say is that the band has picked up quite some pace this time around! There are a lot more of the fast songs, but on the other hand, the groovy ones are heavier than ever. We will let you in on the first few tastes from the new album, as soon as they have been put on tape!

Sahg kicks off this year’s Hole In The Sky Festival with an exclusive live premiere on their upcoming 3rd studio album. The band will headline the opening night of the festival, and present the new album in its entirety, live on stage. The album is due for release in October of this year. The band recently signed a record contract with Indie Recordings, and will spend the weeks prior to the festival in the studio recording the new songs. So, the material you will be served, is as fresh as can be! Be at Garage, Bergen, Tue Aug 25!
Sahg is proud to be confirmed as special guests at Whitesnake’s upcoming show in Bergen, Norway, on Mon, May 25. The event takes place at Arenum, and is part of Whitesnake’s ‘Still good to be bad’ tour.
Sahg has signed a new record deal with Indie Recordings. The band’s engagement with Regain Records is hereby terminated. Sahg’s third album release is already being planned, due for release through Indie Recordings in October 2009.
Singer and guitarist Olav Iversen states: “Signing with Indie Recordings seems like the most natural thing in the universe for Sahg to do. These people really care more about the music than the money, unlike most others in this business. That was crucial for our decision. We believe this is the right place for Sahg to develop further and keep on expressing what we want musically.”
The record label announces: “Indie Recordings is proud to announce the signing our favorite rock act SAHG. We are extremely happy to add this wide-legged, sweaty class act to our roster. They bring along a new sound to our label – carrying on the legacy of the 1970’s legendary hard rock bands in an outstanding way. We can’t wait to help this band claim their rightfully deserved place in the scene! Indie Recordings welcomes Sahg into the family!”
Sahg is confirmed for the Southern Discomfort Festival in Kristiansand, Norway, on September 12 of this year.
