Savages share previously unreleased Black Sabbath “Paranoid” cover & “Prayer” to celebrate ‘Adore Life’ 10th anniversary

UK band Savages released their second album, Adore Life, 10 years ago today, and to celebrate they’ve shared two previously unreleased songs from the era: a mournful, piano-led cover of Black Sabbath’s “Paranoid,” and the atmospheric slow-burner “Prayer.”

Savages say: “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.”

Listen to “Paranoid” and “Prayer” below.

Adore Life is also the most recent album from Savages, who have never officially broken up but have been dormant since 2017. Jehnny Beth released her second solo album You Heartbreaker, You, in 2025.
