Savages celebrate ten years of Adore Life with unreleased songs, including Black Sabbath cover

22 January 2026, 16:19 | Written by Kayla Sandiford

To celebrate the 10-year anniversary of their second album, Adore Life, Savages have shared previously unreleased single "Prayer", and a cover of Black Sabbath's "Paranoid".

Adore Life was first released on 25 January 2016, following Savages' 2013 debut, Silence Yourself. To commemorate the record's anniversary, the London post-punk outfit unveil two unreleased tracks from the Adore Life era, "Prayer", recorded at RAK studios in London by Richard Woodcraft, produced and mixed by Johnny Hostile, and a cover of Black Sabbath's 1970 track, "Paranoid", recorded, produced, and mixed by Johnny Hostile, with recording contributions from Matt Farrar.

Speaking on the occasion, the band share: "Celebrating 10 years of Adore Life, we’re sharing with you two unreleased songs that never made it onto the albums. We left them exactly as they were – no retakes, no remixing. What you’ll hear is precisely how they were first recorded. To us, they feel like snapshots of a moment in time, and while we’ve never been ones to dwell too much on nostalgia we felt these songs offered a fresh perspective on the band, or at the very least – a gentle reminder of its magic. Enjoy the music and video. It is our gift to you. Happy Birthday to ‘Adore Life.’ What a record. What a time. – Ayse, Fay, Gemma & Jehnny."

"Paranoid (Black Sabbath Cover)" and "Prayer" are out now via Matador Records
