Dark Arena - Worlds of Horror (2021)

Finally, finest US Metal again, finally Dark Arena are back. The US Metall band have returned and present a classic sound that is very well laid out. Weren't Dark Arena the band around guitar virtuoso Paul Konjicija, who unfortunately left this world in 2019? That's right, together with singer Juan Ricardo (Ritual, Sunless Sky, Wretch, Attaxe) he was the figurehead of Dark Arena. Nevertheless, Paul Konjicija, Juan Ricardo and drummer/keyboardist Noah Buchanan (Nunslaughter, solipsist) recorded another Dark Arena album before his death. Fewer keyboards, no experiments and more powerful guitar riffing are the differences in "Worlds Of Horror" to the previous albums.Juan Ricardo sings of course as brilliantly as ever. US Metal has to sound like this. The legacy of a great musician and an awesome band.
