Our Take

SAVATAGE's "Edge of Thorns" is a rollercoaster ride through the highs and lows of heavy metal, complete with enough guitar solos to make your head spin. From the first riff on the title track, you know you're in for a wild ride. The vocals are powerful, the drums are thunderous, and the overall production is as polished as a shiny new guitar pick.

But don't be fooled by the bombastic sound - there's a surprising amount of depth and emotion lurking beneath the surface. Songs like "He Carves His Stone" and "Lights Out" show off the band's softer side, with haunting melodies and introspective lyrics that will make you want to raise your lighters in the air.

Sure, there are moments when the album veers dangerously close to cheesy power ballad territory, but SAVATAGE always manages to pull it back with their unapologetic shredding and devil-may-care attitude. Plus, any band that can seamlessly blend thrash metal, progressive rock, and opera into one cohesive package deserves some serious kudos.

So, grab your leather jacket, crank up the volume, and let "Edge of Thorns" take you on a wild ride through the dark and twisted world of heavy metal. Just don't blame us if you find yourself headbanging uncontrollably in public - it's a risk we're willing to take.

About the artist

Savatage

Formed in Tarpon Springs, Florida in 1979, Savatage is a band that defies all traditional genre boundaries. With their unique blend of progressive metal, power metal, and even elements of classical music, Savatage has carved out a distinct niche in the music industry. Led by brothers Jon and Criss Oliva, Savatage burst onto the scene in the 1980s with their debut album, "Sirens." Known for their technical proficiency and intricate song structures, the band quickly gained a dedicated fanbase around the world. Throughout their career, Savatage has released a string of critically acclaimed albums, including "Gutter Ballet" and "Streets: A Rock Opera." Their ambitious concept albums and theatrical live performances have cemented their reputation as one of the most innovative and boundary-pushing bands in the metal scene. But it hasn't always been smooth sailing for Savatage. Tragedy struck in 1993 when Criss Oliva was killed in a car accident, leaving a void in the band that would never truly be filled. Despite this devastating loss, Savatage soldiered on, releasing several more albums and continuing to push the boundaries of their music. With their blend of shredding guitars, soaring vocals, and epic storytelling, Savatage is a band that refuses to be pigeonholed. Whether you're a die-hard metalhead or just someone looking for something a little bit different, Savatage has something for everyone. So crank up the volume, throw up the horns, and let Savatage take you on a wild and unpredictable musical journey.
