In November 2011, the British band
Arena visited Poland as part of the tour promoting their new
album “The Seventh Degree of Separation”. The album opened a new chapter in the
history of the band led since 1995 by two acclaimed musicians: Clive Nolan
(Pendragon, Caamora, Shadowland) and Mick Pointer (ex-Marillion). The new
material was recorded with a new singer, Paul Manzi (Oliver Wakeman Band), the
bassist John Jowitt, who returned to the band’s line-up after a several year
break, and the guitarist John Mitchell.
On November, 10th Arena played a
show in Silesian Theatre in Katowice which for once more became the most
important place for prog-rock fans. The show was enthusiastically received by
Arena’s fans. The band performed their brand new songs (The Great Escape, The
Seventh Degree Of Separation, Rapture, One Last Au Renoir, The Ghost Walks, What
If?, Burning Down) as well as a selection of songs from their previous albums
(including The Visitor, Solomon, Crying For Help VII, Ascension). The concert at
the theatre was also special because Arena recorded their brand new live
DVD there. And today the band reveal its title – “Rapture”.
“Rapture” DVD will be released by
Metal Mind Productions on March, 25th in Europe and
April, 9th in USA (via MVD). Full details to be announced
soon.
