| Wednesday, January 23, 2008 - Jon Oliva's Pain - New album mixed and mastered | Jon Oliva's Pain drummer Christopher Kinder has issued the following update:
"Good evening to all!
The end of the recording process is now behind us!
I returned to Morrisound this evening to re-master the new disc. This is not really that uncommon and since Tom and Jim Morris have rightfully taken personal ownership of this CD, they and JOP had to be sure that all of you got the music you so richly deserve!
We are not afraid to say that we had some issues concerning the first pass at putting the sweet juices on top of what was already an amazing mix. Something got lost...but only for a moment. Eternal thanks to everyone at Morrisound.
Some of these songs had over 100 tracks of recorded instruments, vocals, bells and whistles. So putting every sound in it's proper place 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. JOP and the Morris brothers would have none of that.
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 JOP. This is absolutely some of the best songs Oliva has ever written and the best record JOP has recorded imop!
It's heavy, epic, and emotional and will hopefully satisfy your musical senses as it has for us.
A slightly revised album cover will be posted on the JOP site in the next day or so. Check the main page for a nice big view of it and spread the photo and release far and wide.
Now on to phase 2...final CD preparation and promotion as we prepare for the release and the April/May tour.
A U.S tour plan is in the final phases and we are once again confident that everyone will be stoked about the line-up. Glenn Harveston (Prog-Power USA) and Intrometal will fill in the blanks very soon.
Locomotive will release the CD in the states following the Euro/Japan-release from AFM in early April. European April/May tour dates will be supported by MANTICORA and MASTERSTROKE."
The album is slated for a March 21st release in Europe via AFM Records.
