Random Track of the Day
Wednesday, October 19 2011
Hooray! Everything's comin' up Trollheart! After my luck yesterday with the random-o-meter picking out a Bon Jovi song for me, today it's again come up trumps, with another of my favourite bands, Arena, and indeed, one of my favourite songs from them.
Sirens --- Arena --- from "Pride" on SPV
Taken from their second album, “Pride”, this is in fact the closer, a powerful, almost fourteen-minute saga of human emotions and mythology, with some great passages, including a great guitar solo. Arena tend to get a little overlooked in the present glut of bands who go under the banner of progressive rock, but I think they truly deserve that tag, and if after listening to “Sirens” you disagree, then there's nothing more I can do to help you!
