Jon Oliva and
the former members from Circle
II Circle are offering to us a
new "Savatage" album!!!
Isn't that good news! Well since
we have to deal with Savatage's
frontman we couldn't expect for
anything else, even more now that
this great musician (yes he is!!!)
was in a very good mood, wrote
all the songs and was in charge
of the production.
The album consists
of 13 tracks with total running
time of 62 minutes and it really
has much to offer to the listener.
Like a painter's palette, this
album is full of "colors"
and pleasant melodies, very good
riffs and catchy rhythms. In general
this is a very qualitative release
and an important one for all the
fans of Savatage and not only.
That's all folks!!!
I can't and I don't have to say
anything more about John Oliva!
You all know him and trust him
all these years, so the next move
is to put your hands in your pockets
take out the money and run to
your local music store. As for
me, I am anxiously waiting for
the next Savatage move.
