사바티지란 밴드명 이전에 아바타란 밴드명으로 활동을 했었다...아바타시절 라이브앨범과 데모,EP앨범을 남겼다....

September 22nd, 1983

 

The three songs included in this 7"EP will be rereleased when the band changed its name into "Savatage": the A-side "City beneath the Surface" and the 2nd of the B-side "The Whip" on the "Dungeons Are Calling" EP (1985, Combat Records) while the B-side opener "Sirens" became the title-track of the first Savatage's full length (1983, Par Records). first release in yellow Vinyl. An early Jim Morris/Morrisound Studios effort.

1. City Beneath The Surface 05:33 2. Sirens 03:22 3. The Whip 03:16

이렇게 활동을 하려했으나 아바타란 밴드명이 이미 있다는걸 알고 앞에 S붙이고 R버리고 GE를 붙여서 Savatage의 역사는 시작된다.....

 

위 라인업그대로 1983년 사바티지의 데뷔앨범이 발매되는 것이다....
