Ye Olde Metal: Savatage's Sirens

The 2015 Martin Popoff 13-page eBook about the making of Savatage’s 1983 album, Sirens.


The metal class delivered, in 1983, at least three of the genre’s greatest records, Kill ’Em All, Melissa and Sirens, the latter, by our band at hand, Florida’s Savatage. One of those albums would represent a new strain of metal, but the other two are distinguished as highly professional records of rich and traditional metal might coming from outta nowhere, debuts of frightening skill and authority. Come celebrate what is perhaps the finest indie album ever bestowed upon the world of heavy metal, through the words of all four of the record’s magic makers.
