Arena are one of
the primary progressive rock bands
in the UK and one of the biggest names
worldwide. All the musicians are valorisen
and the band is very active in the
lives section (too bad we haven't
see them yet). Contagion is their
latest release, after the very good
"Immortal?", and they didn't
disappoint us at all. Marvelous progressive
rock which is more heavy than the
rest prog-rock acts. The band seems
to respect the tradition of the finest
prog-rock bands, like Yes and Genesis,
but with a slightly heavier approach.
The result is excellent melodic prog-rock,
dressed with the beautiful voice of
Rob Sowden (along with Threshold's
Mac the best singers in the Kingdom).
We do not have to talk about production
issues, it's just perfect. You have
to listen to this band all those who
haven't done this yet. You will be
able to listen to one of the most
genuine prog-rock bands nowadays.
