A turning point for the band, Savatage's 1989 studio album 'Gutter Ballet' explores a more progressive sound. Even the album's regal front cover demonstrated the band's continued musical evolution. To quote producer Paul O'Neill: 'Savatage was graduating from being a heavy metal band to becoming more than a heavy metal band. On 'Mountain King', we had toyed with a little bit of more symphonic, progressive side, but we hadn't taken it as deep as we did on 'Gutter'.'
