Savatage, one of the great bands that dwelled in the 80’s, released some classic albums in the days. “Fight For The Rock” was an attempt to add some commercialism to their sound, but they made up for it by releasing “Hall Of The Mountain King” one year later. “Power Of The Night” falls into the classic area.

“Raise The Fist Of The Metal Child” is a battle cry for all Metal maniacs to live by. “Power Of The Night” is a pure slab of Metal, no genres, just plain old in your face Metal. Every song on this album is great with “Power Of The Night” and “Warriors” being my two favorites. Even the cheesy 80’s love song sounds cool how Savatage plays it, but don’t worry, if you know you won’t like it no matter what, there is only one on the album.

Savatage may not be among the heaviest bands to live, but they sure have all the in your face crunch that the listener needs.
