Immortal? is the fourth studio album by the British neo-progressive rock band Arena. With an outstanding new lead singer (Rob Sowden), a slightly heavier sound, they manage to even top their preceding album The Visitor. Not so much with the lead-off track, which is a bit too generic stadium rock style to my taste, but the rest of the album is simply brilliant neo-prog rock. Special mention of the outstanding songs Waiting For The Flood, The Butterfly ManGhost In The Firewall, and the 20 minutes epic Moviedrome.
