This is probably the first concept record where the war in Bosnia is the subject. Savatage is a heavy metal band that has become more and more symphonic and bombastic over the years. In the past the band lost its pivot (the Oliva brothers; singer Jon only wanted to help with writing and a car accident was fatal for guitarist Chris). Yet Savatage has continued to exist and with a new singer Zak… Stevens (his third with Savatage) they are on their ninth CD. Classical music has been an important source of inspiration in the past and that is clear now. Fragments of Mozart and Beethoven are used and piano and violin work can be enjoyed regularly. Original singer Jon provided all the lyrics about former Yugoslavia (with Sarajevo as the centerpiece) and he also sings along regularly. Savatage fans can once again embrace this record blindly and for people who are curious how an integration of heavy metal with classical sounds sounds, this CD is an excellent choice. Just listen to the beautiful Christmas Eve!more
