JON OLIVA To Guest On TotalRock.com On Friday

August 24, 2006

SAVATAGE mastermind Jon Oliva will be interviewed on TotalRock.com on Friday, August 25 on "The Helldrive" with Twang between 3:00 p.m. and 6:00 p.m. U.K. time. According to a posting on Oliva's web site, "Twang hooked up with 'The Legendary Mountain King' himself for a major interview which takes in his years with SAVATAGE and JON OLIVA'S PAIN."

As previously reported, JON OLIVA'S PAIN has posted four songs — "Through the Eyes of the King", "Playing God", "Push It to the Limit" and "Maniacal Renderings" — 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 in June when the band performed at the Bang Your Head!!! festival in Germany.

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. More information is available at www.progpoweruk.com.
