JOHN OLIVA’S PAIN – “FESTIVAL” THIS DARK SONG IS WORTH A LOUD LISTEN!
Festival is just one great, dark, heavy and hard album of songs. Jon Oliva added some of his patented Old School touches within the mix as well, lending for an unforgettable listen in his unique music. Jon Oliva’s Pain is back… with a new album – Festival, delivering with a hard and heavy vengeance!
I really, really, really like this song and album. I Really do.

When is the U.S. release? I’ve seen multiple dates for it.

Thanks for the question… I added the answer to the post for it is pertinent info!!
Based on my Metal research, the U.S. release date is April 13, 2010. I’m sticking to that date too! (Actually, whenever I see a release date on the Best Buy online website, it is unreal accurate, for me.) I have never seen a wrong release date on Best Buy… yet!
Really get ahold of “Festival”… it is an unreal great listen, with a cornucopia of musical sounds happening! Heavy, hard, horror filled lyrics and progressive at times too. “Festival” would have made a perfect Halloween release!!

Savatage (and Jon Oliva) are from the part of Florida where I grew up.
Johnny Lee Middleton often used the gas station where I worked when I was a high school student.

That’s really a cool connection.
Are you a fan of John Oliva’s? I’m a fan of ANY music Jon Oliva has created or been a part of. Jon Oliva = Music.

>Are you a fan of John Oliva’s?
I like his singing voice.
To me, though, Savatage and his best work is “Power Of The Night” and “Hall Of The Mountain King”.
