"Edge of Thorns" is a song by American progressive metal band Savatage. The song was released as the promo lead single from the band's seventh album Edge of Thorns. The single is Savatage's first song to feature new vocalist Zachary Stevens.
"Edge of Thorns" is Savatage's only charting single in America, peaking at #26 on the Mainstream Rock chart.[1]
As with the rest of the album, drummer Steve "Doc" Wacholz recorded the song using electronic drums.[2]
The song's opening piano riff was extensively used in the 1994 MTV reality show in scenes involving Pedro Zamora's hospitalization.
The song's music video takes place in a jungle and cuts back and forth between shots of wildlife and the band performing the song.[3]
