Savage: Songs From a Broken World

Gary Numan

A cinematic, post-apocalyptic descent into a scorched world. Heavy industrial synths meet Middle Eastern scales and crushing, desert-dry textures.

A grand, cinematic sense of dread balanced by a fierce, survivalist energy.

Moments Worth Listening For
The arrival of the crushing, distorted bass synth on My Name Is Ruin that feels like a physical weight.
The haunting guest vocals from Numan's daughter, Persia, providing a ghostly counterpoint to the industrial grit.
The way Ghost Nation builds from a sparse, clicking rhythm into a massive wall of cinematic noise.
