Widely regarded as Savatage’s definitive masterpiece, 1987’s Hall of the Mountain King is the make-or-break album where heavy metal met classical grandeur. Marked by Criss Oliva’s jaw-dropping neoclassical riffage, Jon Oliva’s iconic vocal shrieks, and the debut of legendary producer Paul O’Neill, this record rescued the band’s career and laid the groundwork for modern progressive metal. This 2011 Ear Music remaster comes housed in a Digipak featuring remastered audio, liner notes, and two exclusive acoustic bonus tracks.
