Savatage-The Dungeons are Calling [1984]

My best friend back then was a serious metalhead and there were a few songs that stayed with me. Brothers Jon and Criss Oliva and Keith Collins were the founding members of Savatage in 1983. They started out being a cross between heavy metal and speed metal and ultimately becoming one of the first progressive metal bands using symphonic instrumentals as their trademark from then on. This is an excellent song.

AWE-INSPIRING BAND..I have LOVED Savatage for years!!!!
Dungeons inot my all-time favorite from these guys though..
My preference is Dead Winter Dead ..although there are bits and pieces of every cd that are good. I liked how some of the words and concepts on "Gutter Ballet" were carried through into "Streets- a rock opera".
Criss- rest in peace.
Savatage is one of those bands that is- (or a least was) the best of the best.. now I'm waiting to see if Circle II Circle will be able to carry the gauntlet..which is awesome music- but I sadly worry not enough fans know about them.
