Omen Releases “Into The Arena” For The Holidays!


LOS ANGELES — The legendary heavy metal rock group Omen has announced it will be releasing a rare collectors album “Into The Arena” featuring live and demo material just in time for the holidays via DSN Music.

The re-digitized project will feature eleven un-released live and demo recordings from the mid-1980’s when Omen broke onto the metal scene. Omen founder and guitarist Kenny Powell sifted through his archives to find these rare gems. Powell wanted to release rare recordings of live performances of the original and late Omen singer J.D. Kimball and lineup, featured on such classics as “Death Rider”, “The Curse” and “Battle Cry”.

In addition, “Into The Arena” will feature demo and rehearsal tracks of popular Omen singles such as “Ruby Eyes (Of the Serpent)” and “Warning of Danger” as well as other rare tracks for Omen fans. The release chronicles the veteran metal group throughout the 1980’s, following the death of lead singer J.D. Kimball, who was replaced by Coburn Pharr, and finally Matt Story.

Omen, who will be releasing a new album “Hammer Damage” in 2012, is back to work preparing for a support tour of their new project. “This release will be a ride straight into the glory days of Metal, no compromises, take no prisoners!” said Powell.

“Into The Arena” is scheduled for a worldwide digital release Christmas week from DSN, and will be available via online/mobile stores such as Amazon.com, iTunes, Rhapsody.com, Sprint, Verizon, Spotify, iHeartRadio.com and hundreds more.
