_Jon Oliva (SAVATAGE, JON OLIVA'S PAIN) will be the featured guest on "Play The Pawn", the new single from Syrian metallers THE HOURGLASS. In addition, THE HOURGLASS will open for JON OLIVA'S PAIN on June 26 in Dubai, United Arab Emirates.

Commented THE HOURGLASS guitarist Rawad Abdel Massih:

"We are extremely honored to announce that the Mountain King, Jon Oliva, the mastermind and the voice of the legendary SAVATAGE, will appear as a very special guest in our new single, 'Play The Pawn', that will be released in nearly 3-4 weeks, And on the 26th of June, we will be opening the show for JON OLIVA'S PAIN in Dubai, celebrating the 25th anniversary of the release of metal masterpiece 'Hall Of The Mountain King'. This is a huge news for us and we can't thank enough Jon Oliva for accepting to work with us. This is the biggest step in our life."

Added THE HOURGLASS manager Sharbel Kanoun:

"The band wanted to record a new song with guest vocal and the idea came with the show opening for JON OLIVA'S PAIN in Dubai. Christopher Kinder [JON OLIVA'S PAIN drummer] was very helpful and he is putting everything together. We are now in the process of recording the instrumental and the song will be ready soon. This is the first time in the Middle East and Syrian history that a legend such as Jon Oliva appears on a song for a Syrian band, so we are extremely proud of this project. We are very grateful to Jon and Chris to give us this opportunity."

Bison B.C. will be embarking on a short tour of western Canada at the end of June and beginning of July. The tour follows plans to record their third album for Metal Blade Records. Recording officially began on June 2nd with acclaimed producer Sanford Parker at Soma and Electrical Audio Studios in Chicago. Parker is best known for his work with bands suchs as Yob, Pelican, Rwake, Yakuza, Nachtmystium, Zoroaster, Unearthly Trance, and more.

Vocalist / guitarist James Farwell comments:


"After slaving over these songs since last summer we have finally set up a hobo camp in Chicago to record with Sanford Parker. First at Electrical Audio then to Soma. Feels good to be away from home to make this record; new environment, new places to drink, it's good for us. It's also exciting because this will be our first recording with our newest idiot, Matt Wood, playing drums. Special thanks to Matt for topping up our idiocy."

Matt adds:


"In keeping with my idiot life it seemed very natural to join these other idiots, and make a mother fucker of a record".

Catch Matt Wood, James Farwell, Dan And, and Masa Anzai at the shows listed below after they emerge from the studio.

06/29 Fernie, BC The Northern
06/30 Calgary, BC Republik

Their debut album has been critically acclaimed all over the world, and Malcolm Dome of Classic Rock Magazine wrote: "This quintet will make a significant mark. This debut is only the beginning of what should be a thrilling march".
