Archon Angel was born from a meeting between producer/guitarist Aldo Lonobile (Secret Sphere) and former Savatage and Circle II Circle vocalist Zak Stevens during the making of Timo Tolkki's Avalon's 'Return To Eden' album, of which Aldo produced and played guitar and Zak did some guest lead vocals. The two soon started talking to Frontiers about the concept of working on new music together, which was met with great enthusiasm from the label. Aldo submitted to Zak some song ideas which were reminiscent of the classic Savatage sound, the two felt the magic was there, and thus no time was wasted in getting together to craft an absolutely striking metal album. Aldo was also helped in the songwriting department by some of the most outstanding writers and musicians from the Italian Rock scene including Simone Mularoni (of DGM and Sweet Oblivion) and Alessandro Del Vecchio (Aldo’s bandmate in Edge of Forever and of course Jorn, Hardline, etc.).
The album itself deals with a central character, the "Archon", who is a modern day angel figure. The idea goes back to the religious system of Gnosticism. The only difference is that we are immersing the Archon's story into modern-day times. The Archon is a medium who brings messages to God (Demiurge) from the people of Earth. The only real concept to the albums is that they simply follow the story and life and times of the modern day "Archon" and his life as he is called upon to protect the people of earth through frightening, turbulent times.
On the first single, vocalist Zak Stevens says, "The title track accompanies the Archon on his journey in transitioning from a successful businessman, who leads a life of excess and egoism, to a superhero who will clean up the city and eventually, save the world from self destruction. In the song, he is reminiscing about his past and the family he left behind, while summoning the power that called him to save the world to "hear him."
About the filming of the video, Zak continues, "After an arduous search for the perfect city and videographer, we settled on Pittsburgh, PA for my scenes. The band was filmed in Genova, Italy, near the famous Porto Antico. In Pittsburgh, we shot atop Mt. Washington, overlooking downtown, much like the Archon would be doing as he pondered his future. The weather didn't cooperate the first day as it was a rainy day. But one of the coolest moments occurred while filming the video....one of the locations was right across from Heinz Field during a Pittsburgh Steelers [football] game. At the apex of the song, the crowd erupted in cheering at the perfect time, and people who were watching us film were caught by surprise. It really contributed to my overall mindset during that portion of the song. I felt like they were cheering for the Archon and it mimicked a true live performance. I can't wait to get out there and perform this song live with Archon Angel."
Archon Angel are currently working on booking some live shows to present the band in the live environment, but their exclusive live premiere will happen at the 2020 edition of the 70000 Tons Of Metal Cruise.
If Savatage are a favorite of yours, then Archon Angel's "Fallen" may well be your album of the year in 2020!

Proof that there needs to be a new Savatage album
At least another Jon Oliva album (his solo album was quite good too)
@@kitoyobeni1 Not Jon alone. Together!
@@azwris I'll take either. I really enjoyed the Oliva album, but prefer Savatage with Jon on vocals.
@@kitoyobeni1 Stevens is a much better singer, IMO, but I love them both. Just different styles.
This does have a vibe of Handfull of Rain and Dead Winter Dead.
Savatage never died. It just birthed offspring.
This is just awesome
Verdade
It's a poem
This voice was a companion during my young life.
Tears in my eyes and a big smile on my face.Just like Savatage.....
you´re so damn right
i'd bet my left kidney that they'll make one more album some day
@@Max_Kleiber Jon Oliva had announced it a few months ago,in his own words of course. He had some troubles with the law since then, but I truly believe it too.Not much waiting.
Awesome! Bravo! Fantastic! Zak Stevens is one of my favorites vocalists of all time!
No Way,John Olivia was the O ly and The Best for Ever by Savatage!👍👍👍
savatage live forever!!
I ❤ everything Zakk Stevens.
Mr Zak Stevens folks. Rock voice of America. A good day today!
This Voice is so amazing.
Sensational song and vocal performance!
Its Zak would you expect any less
Ansiedade mil! Zak Stevens é SENSACIONAL ❤️
ok
Paradise VOCALIST fantastic Zack
zak is top 5 rock/metal vocalists ever, always involved in some good music
Finally, Zak is back!!! Tears of joy!
Always loved Circle II Circle because of his voice, great to hear it again!
Great song, great voice. Here are the lyrics:
My world undone, sets like the sun
Moments just melt away
I watch my life fade into the night
My soul was led astray
Here along the distant road, lie memories and thoughts unfold
The place where everything that was suppose to be awaits
But life is full of forceful lies, broken hearts, and times that try
And we are left alone to find our way
CHORUS:
Someday, it all fades away
I waited so long, but the dream never came
I leave behind the crimes of my life
I'm living in a state of fallen grace
Endless miles on the path alone
Not a star to light the way
My legacy is still unknown
But I'm closer everyday
I look into the future now, I seek a thousand guarantees and how
Anyone can change their course with the course of life defrayed
I don't know how my story ends but I will try to remedy amends
As the story goes I have so much more to say
CHORUS:
Someday, it all fades away
I waited so long, but the dream never came
I leave behind the crimes of my life
I'm living in a state of fallen...
What have I become
Broken and lost, seeking clarity
Hear me, wherever you may be
I hear your voice, a path that can't see
I've played the game now I'm far away
Abandon
CHORUS:
Someday, it all fades away
I waited so long, but the dream never came
I leave behind the crimes of my life
I'm living in a state of fallen grace
You're close! "Endless miles on the path alone" :)
such a brilliant voice.... as always!
Amazing singer. Looking forward to the release of the album on CD
This new band of his is even better imho. This song has space for each part to breathe. The lyrics have meaning and insight from the perspective of a flawed character. The guitar, drums, and bass fit it perfectly. Zak's voice is cleaner but has a slightly heavier phonation, blending with the strings to create the bombastic theatrical sound that we loved from Savatage albums. Really digging it!
Zac STILL has some of the best pipes in music
Great song with good storytelling, something missing from most metal bands.
Man, that guitarist is tasteful, and Zak is almost always great.
That guitarist is Aldo Lonobile.
Utterly fantastic. Can't wait for the album to drop.
Zak Stevens ist so ein begnadeter Sänger. Ob Savatage/ Circle II Circle/ oder jetzt rchon Angel. Was dieser Mann Musikalisch anpackt, wird Fantastisch.
This guy can really sing, and I'm impressed with the new music. Loved him in Savatage!
I love anything from Zak Stevens!!
reminds me of "edge of thorns" Zak..an amazing singer...greetings from Egypt
I am in love with these lyrics!!
same.....
My favorite singer. The best. Thank you Zak.
I love it. My dad introduced me to Savatage when I was 10, well after the band became TSO, and I can yet that OG Savatge feel from this.
This is absolutely amazing. I love it. There's that Savatage feel and sound that my soul has been crying for. Keep putting out more Zak. You still got it.
Zak...brother you all have created magic!
Fantastic song.
Great voice!!! I love Zak
Sounds like Savatage!!! I love this band!!! Zac is a great singer!!! RIP CRISS O!!!
One of my favorite voices. Been a fan since I first heard "Edge of Thorns" back in... 93?
Zak is back and better than ever!
Amazing! Really like classical Savatage masterpieces!!!
The world needs Savatage
Man, I could listen to Zak singing the news and I'd enjoy it!
OMG what a voice!!!Zak ROCKS!!! \m/
I thought the video was great and then I had the pleasure of seeing it live at Archon Angel's live premier on 70000 Tons of Metal. If they ever tour or play one offs I HIGHLY recommend catching them.
Can’t wait to see them live in Greece... A dream come true
Aldo Lonobile one of the most underrated guitar players/composers in the metal genre these days.
Me hizo recordar a la banda NARNIA
These Guys ROCK! Glad to have Stumbled upon This Vid.🎶 checkin Out The Disc Now
Exceptional voice speaking deep in soul
Sings very magnificent 💓 album
ουαααααααααααααααουυυυυυυυυυυυ επιτελους ενα κομματι σαν savatage!!!!
Archon he's got the STRANGE WINGS!! 🎤🎸
God that opening gave me chills, just channeled the Tage....great stuff Zak, cant wait for full album
Finally..!! true music and wonderful unique voice full of passion and theatricality. I dare say that Steven's interpretation here is "deeper" and more emotional than Savatage era..
I like his voice and a solid song. Also, it's not over saturated with synthesizers.
I think I was in a band with this zak guy in the late 80s 90s called wicked witch it was a booze infested haze and lots of empty rooms we played lol
That is AWESOME!!!! Man, so GREAT!!!!!!
Zakk stevens talvez seja um dos vocalistas mais subestimados da história. Talento puro, gosto muito do trabalho dele.
Concordo com você juan carlos, serve também com o savatage banda que ele apareceu e considero uma das mais injustiçadas do metal.
Concordo também, eu gosto muito do estilo de voz dele.
thanks for the current sharing from a Savatage fan like myself. Didn't know about it and it's great.
Can't wait to hear this, what a great surprise for me! 🖤🤘🏻
Absolutely beautiful Zak!!
Absolutely amazing! Counting down to those first two shows on the boat!
GREAT SONG FROM THE GREAT VOICE OF ZAK
''SAVA'' RULES THE WORLD .... FOREVER !!!
Good to remember the best of the great Savatage. Great sound. Zak's voice is getting better and Aldo's guitar very well built.
Zak Stevens what a voice!!!!
Esperei um bom tempo para ver algo neste nível. Parabéns Zak🙏🤘
coming from a savatage 93' Chicago concert here, and I must say his voice has aged well. Nice !
Just got the shirt/ cd package!! Awesome!!
Simply wonderful! Zak's voice still the same! The SAVA' feeling is alive!
It´s so good to see zak back in the scene! I miss him on sava and CIIC. Looking foward to hear some great tunes! Cheers from Brazil.
Perfect song.... Savatage in my mind 🤘
With Zakk Stevens singing, i knew i would like it.
sean bickford hell yes brother, Zak stevens has that epic rock voice!!
Savage Savatage sound 👍
Rocky 4 was an awesome movie and this song fit perfect!
Wow!!!!

Thank you for this UA-cam channel. I didn't know that I'd still be able to hear these kind of music nowadays. Amazing artists!!!!
only one way to say it. LOVE IT.
Great tune - you fall right into the melody! It's easy to remember. Zak!!! Your voice sounds great, and Shellberg did a great capturing the magic! The other guys in the band are also amazing - seasoned pros!!!
Love the Savatage vibe. Will be getting this.
You wait the whole year for something worth it, and BAM in the last month it comes!!!
So good, I can hear the Savatage in it!
Very very good, thank you so much! Like has been flown right away!
This is so awesome! Great vocals, great instrumentation,and lyrics are top notch.
Great-song!
Always loved Zak's voice.
Wow, thank you.

Raphael Koppe Greetings from California!!
This is so strong.
Zack sounds great! Great song! Wish Criss was still with us and savatage would still be going strong
What a drumer
Circle 11 circle OMG amazing
I can hear a lot of Savatage influence in the sound of this tune.
Voz maravilhosa.
I love the classic style of this! He has an incredible voice too!
Великолепно, шикарный трэк! Удачи Заку с новым проектом.
Zak is on fire. My favorite singer since mid 90s. Dio was before him. Cool.
Zak Rocks
Meu Deus! Zak está ficando velho 🥲
The voice of savatage is back 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
anotherwaytafkash I like Zack Stevens but he is not the voice of Savatage, that would be Jon Olivia.
@@stevenw6263 i agree ...it's just my opinion ..
Metal is here to stay 🤘❤️🤘
