Following the recent release of their furious title track “Lost In Flames”, today, SABER have unleashed a music video for their latest single “Madam Dangerous”! The band reveals:
“Madam Dangerous is a song based off of an encounter one of the members of the band had with a woman after a show. The song is about a woman who is seeking her prey for the evening. What seems to be an exciting night at first, ends in the demise of her target.”

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 2021 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 can’t wait to share their sophomore album, “Lost In Flames”, with their fan base. Joel reflects on how they got started, “The first new track I wrote for “Lost In Flames” was “On the Hunt”, which was the spark we needed. We were at rehearsal one day and I played the opening riff. Everyone was shocked, ‘Is that your riff?! Keep playing!’ By the end of that rehearsal that song was completed, and the heat flowed from then on. There were some tough times in the process and things kept happening that would derail our attempt to write songs. We persevered through it.” The new tracks also 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! Get ready for “Lost In Flames” from one of the hottest and unique new bands of the NWOTHM scene, as the future of metal definitely belongs to SABER!
