Release date: 19-03-2008

The genius Jon OLIVA, (leader of SAVATAGE, DOCTOR BUTCHER and TRANS-SIBERIAN ORCHESTRA) now has his own solo career.

JON OLIVA'S PAIN drummer Christopher Kinder stated about the album, "Some of these songs had over 100 tracks of recorded instruments, vocals, bells and whistles. So putting every sound in its proper place [during the mixing process] was a massive undertaking. Nothing could be sacrificed, and anyone who has mastered a CD before will tell you that it can all be ruined at this final stage of the game. JON OLIVA'S PAIN and the Morris brothers [owners of Morrisound Recording in Tampa] would have none of that."

He continued, "We feel that we have prevailed in blazing fashion. I am currently listening to the final CD mix while typing this update and I could not be happier with the production, and the performance of everyone in JON OLIVA'S PAIN. This is absolutely some of the best songs Oliva has ever written and the best record JON OLIVA'S PAIN has recorded, in my opinion. It's heavy, epic, and emotional and will hopefully satisfy your musical senses as it has for us."
