    Never clicked the like button faster, long live Savatage!
    Vocalist Jon Oliva was featured in the lyrical version of Slam Jam's We're All Together Now (since you're a wrestling fan, there's a very good chance you're familiar with the main riff for that song)
    Hall of the Mountain King has an instrumental intro, Prelude to Madness, which is the legit Hall of the Mountain King classical piece, other Oliva fronted Savatage songs worth checking out... Sirens, Scream Murder, The Dungeons are Calling, City Beneath the Surface, Power of the Night, 24 Hours Ago, Legions, Strange Wings, White Witch, Gutter Ballet, Hounds, and their magnum opus Morphine Child.
    Jon Oliva wasn't the only singer who recorded material, there was also Zak Stevens (who's sings tenor rather than Oliva's baritone) Jon brought him in originally so he can heal his voice up (during his recovery he started a side project called Doctor Butcher, check out the song The Altar, guaranteed the intro will blow your mind) tragically though, his younger brother and Savatage lead guitarist Criss Oliva was killed by a drunk driver (some of Criss' most memorable solos include Ghost in the Ruins, When the Crowds are Gone, Edge of Thorns, He Carves His Stone, Beyond the Doors of the Dark, and I Believe)

(TSO) is an American rock band founded in 1996 by producer, composer, and lyricist Paul O'Neill, who brought together Jon Oliva and Al Pitrelli (both members of Savatage) and keyboardist and co-producer Robert Kinkel to form the core of the creative team.

    Really a special band, especially their first album and this one. The main chorus riff and the seemingly random rythym guitar stabs and licks during the verses turn what could have been a run-of-the-mill tune into a masterpiece. Add Jon's wails (clearly being enjoyed here) and Criss' aggressive shedding throughout... Flawless.

    It's about TIME somebody in the Reactions paid some attention to SAVATAGE. Among the most underrated bands ON EARTH!!! They practically Invented Symphonic Metal... this song has a separate intro called "Prelude To Madness" that completely SHOOK the HEAVY METAL industry. If you want the song to last Longer, play it with the Prelude To Madness first... SAVATAGE has a side project you may have heard of call TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA. TSO was a dream of the late Lead Guitarist, Criss Oliva (RIP). When this album was recorded, material for TSO was already being recorded and produced.

    Couldn't click on this fast enough. Savatage... one of my all time favorite bands. Where do I start, lol. You're in for a treat if you dive into their discography. Also some members went on to form Trans Siberian Orchestra, alot of instrumentals in TSO stuff and their live show is crazy, but well worth listening to. Unfortunately this singer Jon left the band to do other stuff and eventually form Jon Olivias Pain, but their new singer is good as well. Savatage's album "Streets" is a concept album, they call it a Rock Opera and the whole album is terrific. Congrats on finding this band, prepare to rock with Savatage. Also since you're a fellow wrestling fan, check out "Slam Jam - Were all together now. The singer of Savatage and other great members from other bands (Anthrax, Pro-pain, Overkill and Type O) do this song which you will recognize once you hear it..
    Some other songs you can check out by Savatage and Trans Siberian Orchestra are:
    (So many great songs to choose from)
    Savatage - Gutter Ballet
    Savatage - Jesus Saves
    Savatage - Chance (New singer)
    Savatage - Edge of Thorns (New singer)
    Trans Siberian Orchestra - Any of their live performances so you can see their stage show.
    Sorry for the long post but there is so much to say about Savatage, a severely underated band in my opinion.

    Welcome to the world of Savatage! it is an awesome place to be and explore brother. Such an underrated band. The death of Chris Oliva (one of the the most under appreciated guitar players ever! RIP) crushed John and he did a lot of damage to himself. His vocals were never the same after that, but his climb back up from the darkness of that loss is an amazing story. #TSO When Zach started singing for the band it didn't hurt them, just made them different. I love both singers. Lyrically and musically this has been and will always be one of my favorite bands. Try some more, you will be happy that you did :)

    Like other people said, this is the MOST UNDERRATED BAND EVER. They're amazing. PLEASE do some more of their songs.
    Try out:
    Gutter Ballet
    When the Crowds are Gone
    Morphine Child

      Pretty sure that Trans Siberian Orchestra (at least when it was originally formed in the late 90's) was made up mostly of Savatage members. Even the Carol of the Bells song on the first TSO album was basicall just Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12-24) from the Savatage album Dead Winter Dead.

    Great reaction. I loved Savatage as a band. The singer and guitar player were brothers. The singer, Jon Oliva, and guitarist, Criss Oliva. Tragically, Criss Oliva was killed by a drunk driver in 1992, and the world lost one of the greatest guitarists on the planet. Other Savatage songs to check out : Carves His Stone (a different singer on that one), The Hounds, Jesus Saves, Ghost in The Ruins, and Sammy & Tex.
