Finalmente ritornano in Italia con canzoni intramontabili!

For those who found themselves crying during “Believe” and didn’t quite understand why… you’re not alone.
Especially if you’re around 50 or younger today, you likely first heard this song as a young listener — when life hadn’t yet carved its deeper truths into you. Back then, it was powerful. Beautiful. But it hadn’t lived inside you yet.
And over the years, it did.
This song, this masterpiece of writing, melody, and performance, slowly embedded itself into what I can only describe as your auditory DNA. It became a part of you, quietly resonating through the chapters of your life.
Criss Oliva passed away. Time marched on.
The dream of seeing Savatage live became something we let go of, gently — like an old friend we missed but never expected to see again.
And then it happened.
A comeback we thought would never come.
And when Believe started — with Jon’s raw, aged voice echoing across decades, and Zak’s voice rising beside it — it wasn’t just a song anymore. It was a reunion.
Not only with the band… but with every part of ourselves that grew up with this music.
In that moment, you were the child who first heard it.
And you were the adult who had lived long enough to finally understand it.
That flood of emotion? That wasn’t just nostalgia.
It was revelation.
It was grief.
It was healing.
It was everything.
A once-in-a-lifetime moment.
One that defies words… but not this one:
Believe.

About Savatage
Savatage is a heavy metal/progressive metal band founded by the brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1979. The band is known for recording many rock operas. Early on, Savatage was a traditional heavy metal band, who stood out from the pack due to guitarist Criss Oliva's uncommonly heavy riffing and vocalist Jon Oliva's unique vocal stylings.
Following the failure of Fight for the Rock, an attempt to commercialize their sound, Savatage began moving in a more operatic direction, releasing a number of rock opera albums in collaboration with producer Paul O'Neill.
After the tragic death of Criss Oliva, the band soldiered on to continued critical acclaim but diminishing commercial success. However, Oliva and O'Neill lucked out when a single from Dead Winter Dead, "Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)", managed to crack the singles chart. The song, a reworking of a classic Christmas hymn, acted as a launching pad for the immensely successful Trans-Siberian Orchestra project.
Savatage is currently considered to be split up. Guitarist Chris Caffery, vocalist Zakk Stevens, and even Oliva himself have all collaborated to some extent on each others' solo projects. Rumours persist that the band will eventually perform a few farewell shows with a companion live CD/DVD release.
