Pepper's Ghost: Arena (2005)
Pepper's Ghost is an illusory effect used by theaters, magicians and haunted houses to create morphing or ghostly images and serves as the theme behind the seven tales on Arena's 6th album by the same name. The album was inspired by elements from Marvel comics and comes with a comic book by the same artist that did the cover. This is a departure for Arena by being not quite neo progressive, nor is it fully progressive metal either, but lands somewhere in the middle with more rock beats and a surprise - a medieval folk sound. Arena is still guitar and keyboard heavy with lush lyrics that I find worth listening to. And I've been doing that a lot to Pepper's Ghost lately. Enjoy!
