The band first reached substantial commercial success with its third studio album Fight for the Rock (1986), which peaked at number 158 on the Billboard 200. Its next four albumsโHall of the Mountain King (1987), Gutter Ballet (1989), Streets: A Rock Opera (1991) and Edge of Thorns (1993)โwere also successful but more critically acclaimed than Fight for the Rock. On October 17, 1993, six months after the release of Edge of Thorns, guitarist Criss Oliva was killed in a car accident. Following his death, Jon (along with producer Paul O'Neill) decided to continue Savatage in memory of his brother. The band released four more studio albums, and went through several line-up changes before going on an extended hiatus in 2002. During the yearsโpartly even before the hiatusโmembers founded various new bands such as Jon Oliva's Pain, Trans-Siberian Orchestra, Circle II Circle and Doctor Butcher. On August 2, 2014, Savatage announced that they were reuniting for the 2015 Wacken Open Air; despite having discussed the possibility of more shows and new music, the band went on hiatus once again. Although Savatage technically remains inactive, half of the members of the band claimed in interviews during throughout 2020 and 2021 that they have been working on new material for a possible follow-up to Poets and Madmen (2001).

Skull
Session is a song by the American heavy metal band Savatage, which appears on their 1985 album Power of the Night. The song's lyrics describe sexual desire and pleasure, using vivid and graphic language. The lyrics also suggest some level of power dynamics, with the singer viewing his partner as a "servant" of his pleasure. However, despite the overtly sexual tone, the song is not entirely devoid of emotion, as the singer expresses a hunger for love and connection as well.
The phrase "skull session" is a slang term for a group discussion or brainstorming session, often used in the context of sports or business. In the context of the song, it seems to refer to the sexual encounter between the singer and his partner, emphasizing the intensity and intimacy of their connection.
In summary, "Skull Session" is a sexually charged song that explores themes of desire, power, and intimacy. While the lyrics are somewhat explicit, they also suggest a desire for emotional connection and a deeper level of intimacy between the two partners.
