Arena

Musical Group

Arena is a British neo-progressive rock band formed in 1993 by keyboardist Clive Nolan and drummer Mick Pointer, known for a dark, keyboard-led take on progressive rock.

Formed in 1993 by Clive Nolan and Mick Pointer. Reviews note John Mitchell replacing guitarist Keith More around The Visitor (1998). Damian Wilson is cited as making his debut as Arena vocalist on the tenth album The Theory of Molecular Inheritance. Guest Steve Rothery played a solo on 'Crying for Help IV' (Songs From the Lion's Cage).

DeBaser reviews portray Arena as a British neo-progressive band with a consistently dark, keyboard-forward sound. Reviews note lineup shifts and vocal changes (John Mitchell replacing Keith More; Damian Wilson debuting). Some albums are singled out as highlights (Songs From the Lion's Cage, The Visitor). Overall reception across these reviews is mixed but appreciative of the band's strengths.

For:Fans of neo-progressive and symphonic progressive rock

 Damian Wilson is the new singer of Arena and makes his debut on this tenth album “The Theory of Molecular Inheritance”; needless to say, all ears were on him.

 I consider this to be the band's best work, recommended especially for those who love the more romantic side of progressive.

 This album is truly a masterpiece, and you can tell from the first track to the last that you’re at the beginning of a journey made of solos and drum and keyboard patterns.
