Savatage(sævetʌʒ) is an American heavy metal band founded by the brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1978 at Astro Skate in Tarpon Springs, Florida. …
In 1987, Savatage released their first commercially successful album, Hall of the Mountain King, which became the base for the band being catapulted into a more mainstream arena. The band recorded their first music video for the album’s title song, which received extensive air play on MTV’s Headbangers Ball and was followed up by a video for the song “24 Hours Ago”. The album introduced a new musical style, featuring symphonic elements, strongly influenced by their new producer, Paul O’Neill, that would shape the band’s future recordings. …
Gutter Ballet, which was released in 1989, could be considered the band’s true turning point. Since that album, the band has adopted a more progressive style, writing longer songs with more complex melodies and differing vocal styles, rather than the more straightforward power metal style that was apparent in earlier works. …
