Following the failure of Fight for the Rock, an attempt to commercialize their sound, Savatage began moving in a more operatic direction, releasing a number of rock opera albums in collaboration with producer Paul O’Neill.
After the tragic death of Criss Oliva in 1993, the band soldiered on to continued critical acclaim but diminishing commercial success. However, Oliva and O’Neill lucked out when a single from Dead Winter Dead, “Christmas Eve (Sarajevo 12/24)”, managed to crack the singles chart. The song, a reworking of a classic Christmas hymn, acted as a launching pad for the immensely successful Trans-Siberian Orchestra project.
Savatage is currently considered to on indefinite hiatus. Guitarist Chris Caffery, vocalist Zak Stevens, and even Oliva himself have all collaborated to some extent on each others’ solo projects. Jon Oliva has a successful solo-project, Jon Oliva’s Pain, and Zak Stevens and Jeff Plate have worked together in Machines Of Grace.
In 2010 a best-of was released, “Still the Orchestra Plays”, including their Japan Live ‘94 show on DVD.
In 2011 their entire catalogue was remastered and reissued.
