No, they haven't done anything since 2002. On paper the band still exists, with the lineup Zak Stevens/Jon Oliva/Chris Caffery/Al Pitrelli/Johnny Lee Middleton/Jeff Plate, but everybody's busy with other stuff. Caffery, Pitrelli, Middleton and Plate all record and perform with the platinum selling and massively successful Trans-Siberian Orchestra. Oliva writes music for Trans-Siberian Orchestra and has his band Jon Oliva's Pain, which is basically the spirit of Savatage reincarnated with new musicians. This is as close as you get to Savatage today, his albums are definitely in the Savatage mould and he performs tons of Savatage classics live. Zak Stevens has his own band Circle II Circle, another Savatage inspired bunch.omen of hate wrote:Another stupid question about them : is the band still active ?
Chris Caffery in particular has been very frustrated and desperately wants to do Savatage. What it boils down to, I think, is that Jon Oliva is not to keen on doing Savatage without Criss Oliva and now that TSO is making millions of dollars every year he doesn't feel like he has to anymore.
