Savatage "Sirens" Remaster

[predeterminator]

Just bought the Sirens reissue...rocks pretty hard, excellent remaster. Never really got into Savatage as I was listening to all the other bay area bands at the time. I also don't think they toured a lot out my way....to much competition at the time I would think (83, 84). I do have to admit I like this. How do you feel about Savatage, and what other Savatage CD's would you recommend? They issued another remaster at the same time "Dungeons Are Calling". Is it as good as Sirens? They recorded it during the same sessions as Sirens so I am assuming it will be just like Sirens.

If you want classic metal albums, go and get copies of Hall of the Mountain King and Gutter Ballet by Savatage. These to me are the best two Savatage albums.

Dungeons are Calling is definatly worth getting as well though.

I like their latest one "Poets and Madmen". I've ignored/forgot about Savatage for quite some time, which is a shame as they are a very good band.

Well you you dont wanna miss Dead Winter Dead and Wake of Magellan either; and I also highly recommend Edge of Thorns and Handful of Rain.
they are a little different from early Sava but even better. Oh of course Mountain King is a classic too

Hall Of The Mountain King is my fave...

 

[Aethyrs]

Absolutely, go with Dungeon and then get Power of the night. It's better to start with their early albums to get a good picture of the band and their progression.

"The Dungeons Are Calling" is comparable to Sirens. I would suggest "Hall of the Mountain King next" - it was a real step up from their previous efforts. Next would be "Streets" - again, it showcases the growth of the band. "Streets" might be a hard first listen, but it is well worth getting into. "Poets and Madmen" is also pretty good if you like the aforemention albums.

I'll see Savatage again after 1997 in Budapest in August

Hallo everyone!

I like the old "Power of the night"
It really rocks!!!!
Hall of the ...is also a good album.

All the best....

I like "The Dungeons are calling" "Sirens" and "Power Of The Night" the best. "HOMK" is good so is "Gutter Ballet". Of the later albums I like "Handfull of rain" the best.

I don't like the opera's! So if you like the raw sound of "Sirens" Go for "The dungeons are calling"
