Starting in 2011, the band has included more and more Savatage songs in their setlists, which led to the performance of the album The Wake Of Magellan by Savatage at Wacken Open Air 2012. The Wake Of Magellan, which is the last album of Zak Stevens recorded with Savatage, is considered to be the bands best work in the post-1993 Savatage canon by many. This Savatage concept album mainly deals with such concepts as the worth of a life, suicide and drug abuse, drawing on two real-life events such as the Maersk Dubai and the murder of Italian journalist Veronica Guerin. These events are combined into the story of an old Spanish sailor, who has decided to end his life by sailing his small boat out into the Atlantic until it sinks. Narrated by Stevens phenomenal voice and framed by deeply emotional and highly expressional compositions, the album can easily be described as a true rock opera. The combination of bombastic guitar riffs, epic keyboard sounds, and truly majestic vocal parts is a pure enjoyment for any listener. Circle II Circles live performance of The Wake Of Magellan wont even lose the slightest hint of excitement and atmosphere in comparison to the studio version looking up from all the highlights the original record has to offer, one will notice that it seems even more intense when performed live. The monumental performance of The Wake of Magellan at Wacken Open Air 2012 will be celebrated by fans of both Savatage and Circle II Circle all over the world."
