JON OLIVA'S PAIN will release their sophomore album, "Maniacal Renderings", on September 8 via AFM. 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 will be available beginning on June 23 when the band make their appearance at the Bang Your Head!!! festival in Germany.
