| | Savatage CD Reviews |
| | The year is 1995 and a metal band on major label completes a concept album. | | | Savatage is Zak Stevens on vocals, Johnny Lee Middleton on bass, Chris Caffrey on guitar, Al Pitrelli on guitar, and Jeff Plate on drums. | | | No doubt the success of Queensryche's "Operation: Mindcrime" had something to do with the likelihood of a concept album seeing the light of day even ten years after that masterpiece, but "Dead Winter Dead" qualifies as a gem that deserves to be heard by the legion of heavy metal fans everywhere. |

| | SAVATAGE has always been known to house 5 of the most talented musicians going and masters of Anthem Rock when it was expected to have that one anthem on each album you produce. | | | SAVATAGE is one of the great bands that I can’t imagine not having around. | | | Up to the their most recent CD in 2001 SAVATAGE has stayed true to their sound and their musical stylings and kept writing what we all like. |

| | SAVATAGE Streets - A Rock Opera reviews and MP3 |
| | Savatage was a straight US power metal band in the eighties, but after the release of the "Hall of the Mountain King" album, they started to change their style and with the helping hand of Paul O'Neill, it turned to a more melodic and musical-influented heavy/power/progressive metal band. | | | Unusual for Savatage, this is a short, calm song with the piano in the main role. | | | John and Chris Oliva were the heart and soul of Savatage and although later albums with different bandmembers were good in their own rights, this was the epitome of Savatage's brand of music. |

| | Savatage:The Wake of Magellan/Ghost in the Ruin's/Poets and Madmen |
| | The Wake of Magellan is Savatage's fourteenth album. | | | Savatage put so much feeling into their music, whether it's a single piano playing or full on hands to the metal, there's so much energy, atmosphere, and sometimes breathtaking. | | | I know Savatage have been in the music business along time now and I am glad that they are still making albums that to me will remain timeless. |

| | Unfortunately, while Savatage were gaining some success finally, this great guitarplayer and songwriter died in a car accident after touring for this album... | | | The trademarks of Savatage were the crazy vocals of Jon Oliva (who also played piano) and the fantastic guitars of his brother Criss, who had a very original style. | | | With this release, Savatage got more successful and so, Jon Oliva officially returned to the band, but Zak Stevens remained the lead singer. |

Driving guitars, melodic verses and powerful lyrics make their music unlike anything else. | | | The first of three rock operas by Savatage, Streets (1991) was the last album with Jon Oliva as lead singer. |

| | FoundryMusic BANDS Review: SAVATAGE - POETS and MADMEN |
| | Savatage are really brlliant musicians and composers, but that brilliance may be packaged improperly (ie; your target audience may not want to think their way through the disc to appreciate it). | | | This album marks the return to the microphone of bandleader Jon Oliva, who drove Savatage to great power-metal heights during the 1980s, and he brings his honesty back to the ever-changing lineup. | | | However, he hasn't energized the band as much as one might assume, and that may be why this is a pretty good album from a really great band. |

| | Feature Artist - July '98 - SAVATAGE |
| | The music is a backdrop to the vocals, with an uneven beat during the verse. | | | With their 9th release on Atlantic Records (the 14th in their epic 16 year career), "Savatage" has once again proven that a hard rock/metal edge band can create something new and exciting with each album they release, and is firmly at the forefront of the symphonic/progressive hard rock genre. | | | I happened to be back East when "Savatage" played in Cleveland, and I DID get to see their live concert and meet Jon Oliva face-to-face. |

| | Savatage - Poets And Madmen reviewed by The House of Shred |
| | This track has something to satisfy every Savatage fan as it weaves from Oliva's melancholy piano and vocal to balls-out rifforama with their latter day trademark million-man singalong sandwiched between. | | | For years, Savatage lyrics have had an uncommon duality in that they are usually part of an elaborate story, yet remain poignant and self-inclusive when detached from the whole. | | | Oliva that the band still sounds uniquely like Savatage, regardless of the various personnel changes the line-up has endured since the tragic death of Jon's brother, founding guitarist Criss Oliva, in 1993. |

| | His work in Savatage, albeit in less-than-ideal circumstances (former guitarist Criss Oliva was killed in a car accident and this album is dedicated to him), has also resulted in the release of one of the best progressive thrash albums I've heard in recent times. | | | Skolnick's amazing guitar work is clearly the highlight of this album for me, but I think what is also amazing is Jon Oliva's and Paul O'Neill's songwriting. | | | Guitarist Alex Skolnick left Testatment, leaving them to produce one of the better albums of their career. |

| | BNR Metal Pages -- Savatage |
| | In the course of their twenty or so years of existence, Savatage has developed into one of the leading metal/hard rock bands around. | | | Their earlier work is harder, more power-metal oriented, while the later albums have more of an accessible hard rock sound, with with slight progressive touches. | | | The later albums are less my style, but their maturity and musicianship is quite evident, and thus the band has maintained a solid following throughout their career. |

| | Featuring blistering guitar riffs, numerous tempo changes, and over-the-top screeching vocals, Savatage were finally captured by decent production after two albums of attempts to put a pop sheen on their music. | | | O'Neill, who was looking for a metal band to record some of his musical ideas, agreed... | | | Meanwhile, "24 Hours Ago," one of three tracks the group co-wrote with O'Neill, was an impressive opener with an interesting tempo changes and personal lyrics that pointed to the direction the band would soon take. |

| | No. There were only a couple of them that were actual Savatage songs, like "Hide," "Edge Of Midnight" and "Out On The Streets," which was a remake of the song that was originally on "Sirens." It was just a shorter version. | | | I've been an avid fan, listener and supporter of the band since the older days with releases such as "The Dungeons Are Calling" and the classic "Sirens." At the time the band was lumped into the thrash movement. | | | But Savatage managed to hold its own and plant a new standard of approach as far as heaviness and progressive metal goes. |
