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.
