‘A truly worthy tribute-album and for SAVA-fans absolutely essential!

A much overdue tribute to one of the most respected and influential metal bands of all time. It's sad that, despite their 25 career, there has been no other tribute album to Savatage. Its no problem to name at least a dozen bands who have about five or six tribute albums for them but the great Savatage has always been overlooked for some strange reason. There was a talk about Century Media doing a tribute with Nevermore singing ‘Sirens’ and Tad Morose covering ‘Power Of The Night’ back a few years ago but nothing came of it. Some people dislike tribute albums because it doesn't sound as 'real' as the original stuff, but it’s always interested to hear other bands versions. I have no doubt that most of these bands were huge Sava fans themselves and were honoured to take part in this project. And maybe that's all that matters.
