Electric Savage is the second studio album by Colosseum II, released in 1977 on MCA Records. The band was led by drummer Jon Hiseman and featured a high‑profile lineup including Gary Moore, Don Airey, and John Mole.
The album represents a shift toward a harder, more guitar‑driven jazz‑rock / fusion sound, with Gary Moore’s aggressive lead playing pushing the music closer to hard rock while retaining complex arrangements and instrumental virtuosity. Tracks such as Put It This Way, All Skin & Bone, Rivers, and The Scorch showcase the group’s technical precision and improvisational strength.
This release followed the band’s self‑titled debut and is often noted for being Moore’s final studio appearance with Colosseum II before he pursued other projects.
