[Pitiless Wanderer]

tell me about them


what is their best album to start with

 

[Jimm O)))]

They're a progressive rock/metal band from the 80s. I can't really describe their sound as I've only heard a sample of one of their songs.

I know a guy online who likes them and says "Streets" is a good album.

dude, i like them so much, and i guess you probably will like the album Hall of the mountain king (is a classic), Handful of rain (the most heavy of the career - Skolnick played on this album, and is my favourite ) and The wake of magellan (half prog, half rock)

 

[Hypnos]

phantastic band

my faves are Dead Winter Dead, Handful Of Rain (Symmetry rules!!!) and Gutter Ballet

 

[The Ozzman]

Hall of the Mountain King

 

[HamburgerBoy]

For starting definitely get Hall of the Mountain King. Then try Sirens, Edge of Thorns, and Dead Winter Dead.

 

[entanglement]

Streets
Hall of a Mountain King
Dead Winter Dead

in that order.

I have to say I haven't heard much else, but I can tell you that Hall of the Mountain King is a fantastic album.

 

[wolf]

I agree,but I think Sirens could be a good runner up. I like some of the later Savatage but the old stuff packs the punch.

I heard an album by them long ago. I think Al Pitrelli played on that album. It had odd vocals if I remember, but it was good stuff. If only life was long enough to listen to everything I would have gotten back around to them. They seem to have a somewhat small fan base, but they are very well respected I take it.
