Whatever genre you want to call Savatage, one thing is indisputable, and that is Savatage is savagely awesome!

"Hall of the Mountain King" is my favorite Savatage album. It features the vicious guitar playing of the late, great Criss Oliva, as well as the epic vocals of his older brother Jon. The thing that I love about this album is the striking presence of the old-school Heavy Metal aura. From start to finish, this album features fast, heavy guitar riffs and Jon's deliciously evil voice (which reminds me of a crazed Bruce Dickenson). There isn't a single song here that I don't absolutely adore.

If you want a taste of what this album and the band is all about, listen to the title track and prepare yourself for an oral assault.
