Savatage es una banda de heavy metal progresivo fundada por los hermanos Jon y Criss Oliva en 1979. La banda es conocida por grabar varios albumes conceptuales. Aunque fueron conocidos principalmente como banda de metal progesivo, sus origenes se acercan más al heavy metal clásico y al power metal, sobretodo en su album de debut "Sirens". El guitarrista Criss Oliva falleció en un accidente automovilístico el 17 de octubre de 1993.
La banda ha estado inactiva desde que lanzaron su último album en 2001

Edge of Thorns Savatage
Attention guitar players: Tune your low E string to D for this song. The chords for the verses apply only to the piano player. You would just play a rhythm in Dm.
Piano intro: The second D in this scale is an ocative higher than the first D.
D (D) DADGDFDEDFDFECD
The band kicks in once and awhile with a Dm
DmAm/DmDmAm/Dm An offering of reasons. We put them all in play.
DmAm/DmDmAm/Dm A covering of treasons. That one by one we let slip away.
(Bridge)
GmDmGmDm A solitary dancer. So lost upon her stage.
(Chorus)
BbCDmCBb I have seen you on the Edge of Dawn
CDmCBb Felt you here before you were born
CDmCBb Balanced your dreams upon the Edge of Thorns
Dm But I don't think about you any-more.
(Verse 2)
A study made from winter. Of summers long ago. And dreams that use to glitter safely now hidden under snow.
(Bridge 2) And so we end the chapter. And let the stage lights fade.
(Repeat chorus)
Guitar riff: DAGFEEFED (8x)
This is the pattern behind the first solo: C Am C Dm (4x)
Then it goes back to Dm for the bass riff. When the drums kick in the notes notes are:
D E F E (if you want to play chords instead use Dm Em F Em )
Coming out of the solo the guitar and bass play:
AGFE (3x) The fourth pattern is: AGFEA (Then Dm) --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Repeat the chorus and then go back into the Dm Am/Dm pattern used for the verses. Zach sings over this pattern:
"I don't think about you...I don't think about you" etc...
