Rising though the 1980s, Savatage were serious metal contenders until tragedy struck. Following the untimely passing of Criss Oliva in 1993, the Florida band soldiered on, regrouping and releasing a string of albums before the phenomenon of Trans Siberian Orchestra ended them, seemingly for good. Their return in 2025 then, is perhaps their most surprising turn yet. We joined bassist Johnny Lee Middleton and guitarist Chris Caffery for a chat at Hellfest about their comeback, and plans for the future. The unholy; Eamon O'Neill.
