Arena: Immortal?

Read "Immortal?" reviewed by Michael Askounes


Arena’s latest CD, Immortal? is a relatively standard progressive effort with all the neo-trimmings – Rothery-esque guitar solos, bombastic keyboards, and vocals that are not so much sung as they are acted. Arena also tosses in a little metal-prog for good measure, and in the end Immortal? turns out being merely a decent prog release – nothing incredibly noteworthy, bad or good.

Since their last studio album, Arena made a couple of lineup changes. First, they’ve traded in their old ...

Arena: Can a Free Streaming Music Service with a Unique Business Model Succeed?

Source: HypeBot

When I read the short version of Arena's proposition, to give artists and rightsholders an outlandish amount of money for streaming free music with no advertising, it seemed a bit difficult to take seriously. When I looked more closely at their business plan, I recognized that the big play is to become the premier location for streaming and artist storefronts by overperforming on all fronts. And then I found the part about album set-up fees and it all came into ...
