The Wake of Magellan

by Savatage

The Wake of Magellan cover art

The veteran American outfit delivers a towering, maritime-themed conceptual rock opera revolving around a suicide attempt and a tragic historical disaster. Jon Oliva's grandiose, heavily orchestrated compositions masterfully merge Broadway-style vocal counterpoint with soaring power metal riffing, solidifying their legacy in 90s progressive metal.
