      Ryan and George are right about the vocals though. That vocal style just never found consistent commercial success in the American market. I believe Metal Church had a more consistent commercial success in different parts of Europe.

      Look at videos of crowds at early rock n' roll concerts and you will see them struggling to express themselves without the headbang. They'll wag their knees and try different dance moves and fall to the floor and stuff like that, which is clearly unsatisfying. Their peculiar behavior made them look possessed, which is probably one of the reasons rock was condemned by churches. The itch of rock and metal is only scratched by headbanging.

The Olivia brothers truly crafted one of the best works of metal art in history for this album, and on behalf of everyone who has ever listened to Savatage, this band is **the** most underrated metal band of all time.

    The reason a lot of bands in the 80's had that shrill evil vocal style was to take the dark demonic fantasy element to another level. They wanted to sound like Satanic sorcerers, angry spectres, demons,or the Devil himself. Although most of it is an acquired taste, there are a few bands that found a nice middle ground between the high pitched notes and melodic singing.

    Metal Church was the litmus test for determining true metal fans back in the late 80s/90s. Plenty of people wearing Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden t-shirts. But someone busts out a Metal Church CD and you know they're into serious metal. This album, and The Dark, are S Tier metal. Really overlooked band, and was WAITING for you guys to catch this, cause I knew you'd like the swing tempo, that triplet beat that dominates jazz, R&B, and other dance music. Makes you really get tangled in.
