Trans-Siberian Orchestra

American symphonic rock/metal and progressive rock/metal band Trans-Siberian Orchestra (also known as TSO) from New York City, was formed in 1996. The band was founded by composer Paul O'Neill who immediately approached long time friends Robert Kinkel and progressive metal band Savatage lead singer Jon Oliva. O'Neill had managed and produced rock bands including Aerosmith, Humble Pie, and Scorpions, later writing for and producing Savatage, where he began working with Kinkel and Oliva. The concept for a band playing Christmas carols in a rock opera style was not received warmly by the industry, but quickly proved a success with adults as well as young people. They rose to fame with their debut album, Christmas Eve and Other Stories (1996). It produced five singles, "God Rest Ye Merry Gentlemen", "O Holy Night", "The First Noel", "Christmas Eve/Sarajevo 12/24" and "O Come All Ye Faithful/O Holy Night".
