Random Track of the Day
Friday, September 30 2011
Bringing September to a rainy (at least, here) close, it's Savatage from the album that started them on a new musical direction and indirectly led to the formation of Trans-Siberian Orchestra, 1995's “Dead winter dead”.
Dead winter dead --- Savatage --- from "Dead winter dead" on Atlantic
A concept album, “Dead winter dead” centres around the relationship between a Serb boy and a Muslim girl, and uses as its backdrop the Bosnian war. This is the title track, a hard rocker but with already some of the progressive elements evident that would come through in their next album, the already-reviewed “The wake of Magellan”, and of course later in the work of the TSO.
