作为成军于83年的佛罗里达前卫金属乐团。

Savatage最初是以Jon Oliva和Criss Oliva两兄弟构成核心的。大量的古典乐段。前卫金属式的编曲。贯穿始终的钢琴。Jon凄清的钢琴与Criss悲凉的吉他深情对奏。从而营造出一种旋律优美，节奏清冷的独特氛围。

可惜的是。Criss在93年因为一场车祸去世。由此造成了乐团的大换血。不过非常幸运和可贵的是，Savatage并没有因为这意外的打击而走向滑坡或倒退。反而以一种更强者的姿态继续向更高层次不断迈进。

作为Savatage最受好评的经典专辑，91年的《Streets: A Rock Opera》是一张概念性的前金歌剧式作品。主题讲述的是一个摇滚歌手从自颓自弃到自强自立的故事。这种叙事手法与Pink Floyd的《The Wall》专辑有点类似。但艺术摇滚巨作《The Wall》成就的是人文价值观的深度和哲学理论的批判性。而《Streets: A Rock Opera》则将观察和考究的目光从宏观放大到局部，以感性和激情剖析人性中最为隐蔽和潜藏的压抑面。

而乐团95年的另一出彩之作《Dead Winter Dead》，编曲更注重古典架构和弦乐层次的铺设，并成功地将多首莫扎特名曲改编为演奏曲。专辑的概念性和叙事性比起《Streets: A Rock Opera》进一步地得到了加强和完善。篇章主旨围绕着一个南斯拉夫内战中希望以拉奏大提琴化解战火和争斗的塞拉耶佛老人的故事展开叙述，歌词沉重而催人泪下，实为不可多得的前金专辑。作为一支多产的金属乐团，Savatage在近20年的历程中为我们奉献了太多的优秀作品。最为难能可贵的是，乐团在充沛的创作力下面仍然保持着高水准的专辑素质。

作为前卫金属乐界的超重量级乐团，其地位及重要性甚与Dream Theater、Fates Warning等团相提并论
