SAVATAGE IS GOING TO CRUSH POMPEII WITH A 40-PIECE ORCHESTRA AND FILMING THE WHOLE DAMN THING FOR A NEW RELEASE!

placeholder

OH MY GOD, MAN! HOLY HELL, GET READY TO HAVE YOUR FACE COMPLETELY MELTED! If you think today's radio music is a bunch of weak, watered-down garbage, then I have the ultimate cure for your soul. The progressive metal kings SAVATAGE are back, and they are planning something so brutal and epic it makes my blood boil with pure joy! Guitar hero Chris Caffery just dropped a massive bomb in a new interview. The band is heading to the ancient Amphitheater of Pompeii in Italy. Yes, that ancient Roman spot! And they aren't just going there to play a regular show. No way, man! They are bringing a massive 40-person orchestra to battle them on stage!

 

 

GET SAVATAGE'S MADNESS REIGNS FROM THE GUTTER 1990 ON VINYL HERE: https://amzn.to/4wjiNcl

THIS RULES SO HARD! Caffery said a little bird told him that they are planning to record and film the entire over-two-hour show so all of us who can't fly to Italy can witness the pure madness! He said they won't let those cameras stay off when they hit that historic stage. They are creating insane new orchestrations with the masterminds from the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Al Pitrelli, Jon Oliva, and the crew are making parts where the orchestra literally battles the metal band! Caffery was rehearsing with his in-ear monitors and yelling to turn the orchestra parts way up because it sounds so heavy! It is going to be a total metal war!

placeholder

This is exactly what the late, great producer Paul O'Neill always wanted. He believed classical musicians were the original heavy metal rock stars of their time, and he always wanted to marry those two worlds together. Now, SAVATAGE is doing it at one of the oldest Roman amphitheaters on earth with a completely different, mind-blowing setlist! They have been rehearsing like crazy, going to Greece to practice before hitting Turkey and the rest of Europe. Zak Stevens is on vocals, Johnny Lee Middleton is on bass, and they are ready to tear the house down. This is real, raw, heavy metal history in the making, brothers! I can't even contain my excitement! My head is spinning and I just want to yell HELL YEAH!
