Our Take

Ah, savoury savages! The iconic metal band Savatage is back with their album "Handful of Rain," and let me tell you, it's a deluge of musical mayhem that will leave you drenched in pure rock ecstasy.

From the thunderous drumming to the lightning-fast guitar riffs, each track on this album is a tempest of pure musical brilliance. The lead vocals are like a hurricane, powerful and captivating, while the backing vocals are like gentle raindrops, adding depth and texture to the soundscapes.

The production on this album is top-notch, with every instrument shining through like a bolt of lightning in a dark stormy night. The mixing is impeccable, with each element perfectly balanced to create a symphony of sound that will transport you to a world of metal madness.

Standout tracks include the epic title track "Handful of Rain," which is a whirlwind of emotion and power, and the hauntingly beautiful "Chance," which will send shivers down your spine.

Overall, "Handful of Rain" is a masterpiece of metal music that will leave you breathless and begging for more. Savatage has once again proven why they are legends in the industry, and this album is a testament to their talent and creativity. So grab your umbrella, because this album is about to unleash a storm of pure rock bliss upon your ears.

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.
