About Savatage

Savatage is an American heavy metal band formed in 1979 in Tarpon Springs, Florida, who evolved from straightforward metal into theatrical rock opera pioneers, blending progressive elements with powerful storytelling. Their ambitious concept albums like "Streets: A Rock Opera" and "Gutter Ballet" showcased their ability to craft cinematic narratives around songs like "When the Crowds Are Gone" and the haunting ballad "Handful of Rain." Led by the late Criss Oliva's innovative guitar work and Jon Oliva's operatic vocals, Savatage influenced countless metal bands with their dramatic approach to songwriting. Though they've been less active since the early 2000s, their legacy lives on through Trans-Siberian Orchestra, which carries forward their theatrical metal vision to massive audiences worldwide.
