Jon Oliva + Chris Cafferey = Doctor Butcher. No no, this is not a new album of Savatage but a real original project of the two musicians. "Doctor Butcher" the album, was released in 1994 when Jon and Chris decided to do a new album together (remember that Jon was out of Savatage during this period). The result was an impressive Heavy Metal album, something certainly in the vein of Savatage but a bit more "rock "n"roll" and Heavy too in my opinion. Today we have the luck to have the re-edition, by Black Lotus Records, of this excellent album (with in addition a bonus CD) and, if you missed it in 1994, I recommend you to have a look on it now?

Very good aggressive heavy metal album!
I don't know much of Jon Oliva's discography, but this is for sure a valid piece of it.

Edit:
After a few listens, my evaluation is even higher, 8.5 (rounded up at 9)

This is very good early 90's metal album. It seems after the death of Chris, Jon Oliva decided to try something more raw and more aggressive for a change. The result is a shining gem of a metal album that should be much more well known and loved than what it is. The only real criticism I have here is the awful cover, which they eventually changed in the later re-releases.
