Savatage. Pure awesome.

One of my new favorite bands is Savatage, and I'm quite surprised that nobody has heard of them before that I talk to. They are an excellent prog metal band, and I find it hard to believe that they don't rank up there in fame with Iron Maiden and the like. I just got their album "Hall of the Mountain King," and virtually every track on it is listenable, and usually quite enjoyable.

 

 

 

Anyone else heard of them or like them?

Speaking of "Hall of The Mountain King" have you heard of Apocalyptica? They do a cover of that song that is amazing. They do alot of Metallica covers too. They are a few guys that only play on Chelos, and bass violins and big string instruments.

 

 

 

I believed they have also teamed up with the band H.I.M a few times if I recall too.

Savatage are a pretty cool band. The solo from "When the Crowds are Gone" is one of the best I've ever heard.

Dreaming of that face again

It's bright, and blue, and shimmering

Grinning wide

And comforting me with it's three warm and wild eyes
