Savatage

Savatage (/ˈsævətɑːʒ/) is an American heavy metal band formed in 1979 in Tarpon Springs, Florida by brothers Jon and Criss Oliva. The band initially performed under the name Avatar, but changed it shortly before the release of their debut album "Sirens" (1983) due to naming conflicts with other acts. The new name, Savatage, was created by combining elements of “savage” and “Avatar”. The early lineup included Steve “Doc” Wacholz on drums
