Over 15 years into their career, Savatage refused to stay still— if anything, the group continued to improve in the ’90s, as their14th album, The Wake of Magellan, proved. Long ago, the group beganfusing heavy metal with progressive rock, but they’ve rarelyrecorded a concept album as enthralling as The Wake of Magellan.Employing a fictional character, Hector Del-Fuego Magellan, asupposed descendent of famed explorer Ferdinand Magellan, the bandretells two true stories. The first is the tale of the MaerskDubai, a Taiwanese freight ship whose captain, upon discoveringthree stowaways on board, decided to throw the offending passengersoverboard. The second is the story of journalist Veronica Guerin,who died while combating drug pushers in her home country ofIreland. Magellan relates these two stories — some of the narrativeis enhanced by an epic poem in the liner notes, which was written,along with the lyrics, by producer Paul O’Neill — over the courseof the album. It’s an ambitious effort, to say the least, butSavatage’s surprisingly graceful music — not only does it fit thestory line, but it has sweeping melodies, intricate arrangementsand stunning solos that are compelling on their own terms — makingit a fascinating voyage.
