Dead Winter Dead is the ninth studio album by Savatage, released in 1995.
 It is a concept album, dealing with a Serb boy and a Muslim girl who fall in love.
 The story of the album also focused on the Bosnian War, which was ongoing at the time.
Hibernus Mortis was a band started in December 1995 by Cesar Placeres and Ralf Varela.
 The band took its name from the ancient Latin translation for "Dead Winter".
 Starting out, the South Florida band's primary goal was to create some of the most crushing and extreme music ever recorded.
 Taking influence from a variety of sources, musically the band took inspiration from the old-school death metal bands like Incantation, Autopsy, Morbid Angel, Death, Dismember, Immolation, Entombed, Obituary, Vader and Suffocation just to name a few.
Poets and Madmen is the eleventh studio album by the heavy metal band Savatage, released in 2001.
 It was their last album before their 12-year hiatus, which lasted from 2002 to 2014.
 The album has a loose concept inspired by the career and death of journalist Kevin Carter, but has much less narrative in the lyrics than the previous two rock operas ("Dead Winter Dead" and "The Wake of Magellan") penned by Paul O'Neill.
 Everything said in the album is fiction, except with regards to what is sung about Carter.
 The album is also noted as it is the only Savatage album to not feature a title song from the album, although the title was taken from lyrics to the track "Symmetry" from the band's 1994 album, "Handful of Rain".
The Infamous Stringdusters are an acoustic/bluegrass band.
 The band emerged in 2007 with the album "Fork in the Road" on Sugar Hill Records.

 The band has become known for a complex, distinctive, and groove-friendly sound along with a bluegrass theme.

 It was re-released by the Trans-Siberian Orchestra, a side project of several Savatage members, on TSO's 1996 debut album "Christmas Eve and Other Stories".
 The piece describes a lone cello player playing a forgotten Christmas carol in war-torn Sarajevo.

Jam bands are musical groups whose live albums and concerts relate to a unique fan culture that began in the 1960s with the Grateful Dead, and continued with The Allman Brothers Band, which had lengthy jams at concerts.
 The performances of these bands typically feature extended musical improvisation ("jams") over rhythmic grooves and chord patterns, and long sets of music that can often cross genre boundaries.
 The Grateful Dead continued to grow their fanbase in the second half of the 1980s.
 In the mid-1980s the bands Phish, Edie Brickell & New Bohemians, Blues Traveler, Ozric Tentacles, Widespread Panic, Bela Fleck and the Flecktones, Spin Doctors, Col Bruce Hampton and Aquarium Rescue Unit, began touring with Jam band-style concerts.
 In the early 1990s and 2000s, a new generation of bands was spurred on by the Grateful Dead's touring and the increased exposure of The Black Crowes, My Morning Jacket, Dave Matthews Band, Widespread Panic and Aquarium Rescue Unit.
