Arena - Songs From The Lions Cage

Review by Jonathan Jewell

Songs From The Lions Cage is the debut studio album by British progressive rock band Arena, released in 1995. The album features significant contributions from keyboardist Clive Nolan, who also co-wrote the songs with guitarist Keith More.

The album opens with the epic 13-minute track "Out of the Wilderness", which sets the tone for the rest of the album with its intricate instrumentation and soaring vocals. The album also includes standout tracks like "Valley of the Kings" and "Solomon", which showcase the band's ability to blend complex rhythms and melodies with powerful vocals.

Throughout the album, Arena demonstrates their mastery of progressive rock, with intricate song structures and dynamic shifts in tempo and mood. The album's lyrics are also notable, with themes of mythology, history, and spirituality woven throughout.
