The Tragic Reason Savatage HAD to Die

The Story of Savatage, the underground heavy metal band that, following the tragic death of guitarist Criss Oliva, unexpectedly transformed into the multi-platinum holiday phenomenon, the Trans-Siberian Orchestra. This documentary explores their entire journey, from their early days as a groundbreaking Florida metal act, through their battles with Atlantic Records, to the devastating loss that changed everything. We uncover the genius of Criss Oliva, the struggles of his brother Jon Oliva, and the vision of producer Paul O'Neill that turned a tribute song into a global Christmas empire. This is the true story behind the music of both Savatage and TSO, a tale of tragedy, rebirth, and one of the most bizarre transformations in rock history.
