Our Take

SAVATAGE's latest offering, "Poets & Madmen," is a rollercoaster ride of rock magnificence. Filled with soaring vocals, blistering guitar solos, and epic storytelling, this album is sure to leave you wanting more.

Lead vocalist Jon Oliva's powerful voice cuts through the mix like a knife, delivering each lyric with passion and conviction. Meanwhile, the twin guitar attack of Criss Oliva and Chris Caffery provides the perfect backdrop for the band's larger-than-life sound.

But what truly sets "Poets & Madmen" apart is its ambitious concept, which explores the duality of man through the lens of poetry and madness. Each song weaves a rich tapestry of emotion and intrigue, drawing the listener in with its vivid storytelling and dynamic arrangements.

In conclusion, SAVATAGE has crafted a masterpiece with "Poets & Madmen." This album is a thrilling journey through the depths of the human psyche, showcasing the band's musical prowess and creativity. Don't miss out on this rock opera extravaganza—it's a must-listen for any true music aficionado.

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.
