Our Take

After many moons in the shadows, the legendary metal band SAVATAGE rise from the ashes with their latest offering, "Ghost In The Ruins."

From the haunting riffs to the thunderous drum beats, this album is a rollercoaster of head-banging glory. The band's signature blend of power metal and progressive rock is on full display, creating a sound that is as epic as it is exhilarating.

Lead vocalist Jon Oliva's vocals soar to new heights, adding an extra layer of intensity to tracks like "Hall of the Mountain King" and "Gutter Ballet."

The lyrics are dark and mystical, taking listeners on a journey through haunted castles and ancient ruins. It's like a heavy metal Dungeons and Dragons adventure come to life.

But what truly sets SAVATAGE apart is their ability to blend complexity with accessibility. Even the most novice metalhead will find something to love in the catchy hooks and infectious melodies.

So grab your battle axe and prepare for a musical journey like no other. "Ghost In The Ruins" is a triumphant return for SAVATAGE, proving that even in the darkest of times, metal will always prevail.

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.
