Savanah build heavy music with a strong sense of scale.
Their songs unfold patiently, balancing weight and space, and letting riffs breathe rather than rush. There’s a natural pull to the way their music moves - steady, grounded, and shaped by subtle shifts rather than sudden turns.
• About the band •

Recognised as one of the most influential stoner rock/doom acts of the 2010s, with “I’m the Mountain” becoming a global viral hit and surpassing tens of millions of streams.
From their first EP onward, Savanah have shaped their sound around heavy riffs, shifting dynamics, and a careful balance between intensity and restraint. Their music moves with purpose - powerful but measured, grounded in groove, and never in a hurry to reach its destination.
Rather than following trends, Savanah let their songs evolve naturally, both on record and on stage. The result is music that feels immediate yet patient — rewarding focused listening while still making its presence felt from the first notes.
