JON OLIVA Completes First-Ever Solo Album
March 3, 2013, 11 years ago
JON OLIVA'S PAIN drummer/producer Christopher Kinder has checked in with the following update:
"Good day one and all...the first (and probably last, ha-ha) JON OLIVA solo record is now complete. Oliva will be the first to admit that it took one hell of a challenge writing, performing 90% of all the tracks himself and vocals... he is exhausted for sure. It's a very interesting and powerful offering. Diverse, emotional, and varying styles of writing and music everywhere. A truly great accomplishment for the mountain king indeed.Special thanks to Tom Morris and everyone at Morrisound once again for a job well done.
I will have updates on a release date in the next few weeks. Stay tuned...hope to release a single soon."

As previously reported, Oliva has assembled a collection of ideas from the past four-five years and recorded nearly all the instrument tracks and vocals himself and also playing drums on several tracks.
The record will be released via AFM later this year.
