Arena - preview of the "Rapture" DVD

As previosuly announced, the British band Arena release their new DVD in late March. The DVD titled "Rapture" was recorded in 2011, when Arena visited Poland as part of the tour promoting their new release "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 album 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. 
Filmed in 2011 at Wyspiański Theatre in Katowice, Poland, the DVD features a wide cross-section of Arena's music, with material ranging from the tracks from the band's very first release (including The Visitor, Solomon, Crying For Help VII, Ascension) up to their latest songs (The Great Escape, The Seventh Degree Of Separation, Rapture, One Last Au Renoir, The Ghost Walks, What If?, Burning Down).
 
And today you can see the preview of the DVD on the Metal Mind Productions' official channel on YouTube. Track "The Visitor" is available in THIS location. 
 
The DVD also features an interview with Mick Pointer and Clive Nolan, additional "Live in Warsaw, 2011" footage, photo gallery, discography information, and desktop images!
"Rapture" DVD will be released by Metal Mind Productions on March, 25th in Europe and April, 9th in USA (via MVD).
