Savatage is a heavy metal/ progressive metalband founded by the brothers Jon and Criss Oliva in 1979. The band is known for recording many rock operas. Early on, Savatage was a traditional heavy metal band, who stood out from the pack due to guitarist Criss Oliva's uncommonly heavy riffing and vocalist Jon Oliva's unique vocal stylings. Following the failure of Fight for the Rock, an attempt to commercialize their sound, Savatage began moving in a more operatic direction, releasing a number of rock opera albums in collaboration with producer Paul O'Neill. After the tragic death of Criss Oliva, the band soldiered on to continued critical acclaim but diminishing commercial success.

Hounds Lyrics
Savatage
Sun sets on the moon
The cry of the hounds live forevermore
Stalking the night
They roam the countryside till mornings light
Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hung you down
Hunt you down
They run wild and free
Across the fields and valleys of their native land
Natures beasts derranged
Beyond belief no one understands
Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hung you down
Hunt you down
Can you hear them in the night
They got you in their sight
Do you hear the hounds they call
Scan the dark eyes aglow
Through the bitter rain and cold
They hunt you down
Hunt you down
