When they first formed, they sometimes went under the name Metropolis. They recorded two songs, &quot;Rock Me&quot; and &quot;Minus Love&quot; for a compilation released by the 95YNF radio station, and played a show in a K-Mart parking lot to support the release.<br /> <br /> Unofficial Discography:<br /> The Hammer Comes Down (Omerta Records, 2001)<br /> <br /> <br /> Discography<br /> <br /> <br /> Live in Clearwater, FL '81 EP, 1981<br /> Living for the Night Demo, 1983<br /> City Beneath the Surface EP, 1983 [1 review, 86%]<br /> <br /> Avatar (US) - City Beneath the Surface<br /> <br /> EP, Par Records<br /> September 22nd, 1983<br /> [add/edit review]<br /> [Average rating for 1 review is 86%]<br /> The three songs included in this 7&quot;EP will be rereleased when the band changed<br /> its name into &quot;Savatage&quot;: the A-side &quot;City beneath the Surface&quot; and the 2nd of<br /> the B-side &quot;The Whip&quot; on the &quot;Dungeons Are Calling&quot; EP (1985, Combat Records)<br /> while the B-side opener &quot;Sirens&quot; became the title-track of the first Savatage's<br /> full length (1983, Par Records).<br /> <br /> The very first 25 copies were printed in yellow vinyl and the remaining 975 in<br /> black vinyl for a total amount of 1.000 copies pressed.<br /> <br /> An early Jim Morris/Morrisound Studios effort.<br /> 1.

It&rsquo;s the same crew that would perform together since almost the beginning to the debut and some time beyond, the Oliva brothers the nucleus that would persevere up until &lsquo;93&rsquo;s Edge of Thorns lp when Criss would be killed by a jerky drunken driver.<br /> <br /> While there are those that like to wave the prog pennant around Savatage&rsquo;s sound, it&rsquo;s always been a traditional trip more than anything, and even calling it power metal doesn&rsquo;t bother me much.<br /> <br /> A space age keyboard intro slides this early fragile Jim Morris/Morrisound Recording into motion, the title cut traveling along in a fine doom-edged mid-paced, yet jogs spryly in a &ldquo;Jump in the Fire&rdquo; fashion. From the first amputated scream, Jon Oliva&rsquo;s vocals fly somewhere in the lower soprano/higher mid-tone that have been dragged on enough rocks to give it a rough heft. The most dangerous-sounding track is &ldquo;Sirens&rdquo; with its bursts of tingling, bell-rung peril and intrinsically ominous chorus, meanwhile following it is the much more energetic &ldquo;The Whip&rdquo;, a nimble dasher that runs past the debut and would be found next panting at the end of the band&rsquo;s The Dungeons Are Calling ep.<br /> <br /> It&rsquo;s always easier to compare a 7&rdquo; to another rather than to a full-lengther (for obvious reasons I think). For same year entrances to the masses, it&rsquo;s a better representation of sound than Anthrax&rsquo;s Soldiers of Metal, coincides more with the energy found on the band&rsquo;s future debut than Venom&rsquo;s In League With Satan, and can probably spar nicely with both Raven pre-Rock Until You Drop singles. Plus collectors don&rsquo;t mind seeing it.
