JON OLIVA'S PAIN: New Album Samples Available
July 18, 2006JON OLIVA'S PAIN, the band led by SAVATAGE mastermind Jon Oliva, has posted two songs — "Through the Eyes of the King" and "Playing God" — from its upcoming sophomore album, "Maniacal Renderings", on its MySpace page.
"Maniacal Renderings" is scheduled for release on September 1 via AFM Records. The follow-up to 2004's "'Tage Mahal" was once again recorded at Audio Lab Studios in Tampa, Florida and is described in a press release as "a more progressive, complex and dramatic edge without sacrificing any of the songwriting quality that fans have come to expect during Oliva's 25-year career." 14 songs are scheduled to be released in three different versions for Europe, Japan and the U.S. An EP, "Straight-Jacket Memoirs", consisting of two new studio tracks and two live tracks from the 2006 tour was made available last month when the band made their appearance at the Bang Your Head!!! festival in Germany.
As previously reported, JON OLIVA'S PAIN has been confirmed as the headliner of next year's ProgPower UK festival, set to take place March 31, 2007 in Chelltenham, England. Also scheduled to appear are SCAR SYMMETRY, CLOUDSCAPE, DREAMSCAPE and HAGGARD. Oliva and company will perform for 100 minutes and will include songs from JON OLIVA'S PAIN and a healthy assault of SAVATAGE classics. Tickets go on sale January 7, 2007.
