The gathering of ARENA’s famous musicians makes a super-group: Mick POINTER (Ex-MARILLION) plays the drums, Clive NOLAN (PENDRAGON) the keyboards, and Keith MORE (ASIA) played the guitar until replaced by John MITCHELL (Ex-Kino).Vocalist Rob SOWDEN has been with the band since IMMORTAL? and the bass player is Ian SALMON. There have also been some guest appearances by Tracy HITCHINGS (singer of QUASAR, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN & LANDMARQ) and Steve ROTHERY (MARILLION’s gifted guitarist).
“Songs From The Lion’s Cage” is then a very professional Progressive rock, both close to MARILLION and hard-rock. “Pride”, their second opus issued in 1996 (one year after the previous one) confirmed the high musical level of this band, at a time when they added a touch IQ to their music. Curiously the band’s sound gained in heaviness after their 2 first albums, and the music quality increased a lot in originality and musicianship.
Recorded in 1998, “The Visitor” alternates passages inspired by Steve HOGARTH’s group along with some dark instrumentation. “Immortal” shows a new heavier dimension that still remains anchored in the best neo-Progressive music. “Moviedrome” is an excellent twenty minute track… “Contagion” follows the glorious tradition of “Immortal”, although I found it more hard edged and multidimensional from all aspects. This powerful and evoking concept album tells about the quest for redemption, through the vision of a dark and anguishing future. No doubt about it, people won’t have to think for a long time before electing the best album of winter 2002-2003! One of the best bands on the English scene nowadays.

Given Seventh Degree a fair few listens now. Seriously disappointed. Clive's atmospheric keyboards have mostly been replaced by generic 80s metal guitar parts. Hopefully their next album will A) redeem them and B) not take six years to release.

The Seventh Degree of Separation, is a piece of soul-swelling, atmospheric dope! SIMPLY A MASTERPIECE <3

@MetalDinner - Arena's "classic" album is The Visitor, although Immortal? and Contagion are also cracking albums. Better than anything by Pendragon imo.

Being quite a big fan of Pendragon, I want to get into Arena as well. So far I've only heard the first album, and good it was, but it didn't do it for me the way Pendragon does. Which album should I listen to?

The prog melodies of 'Contagion' are contagiously addictive.

I'm loving the new album more and more. Very intense. Different from the old albums, though. Even got some "cheesy" moments - which are great, too. And new singer Paul Manzi has its own voice, still he perfectly performs the old songs live.
