2002-11-23 The Distant Arena has been closed Hi! I have decided to close this site now since I no longer have the time to update it on a regular basis. It's been fun to run the site but it takes a lot of time too and I think it's better to close it down now than to have it up and not being updated properly. I've thought about this for a while and I think that this is a good time to close it down. There are plenty of Arena-related sites out there so I guess you'll manage anyway ;). I hope that you have enjoyed the site and wish you all a merry christmas and a happy new year. Let us all hope that the new Arena album "Contagion" will be a success for the boys so that they get the recognition they deserve. Contagion will be released on January 27th 2003, read all about it on the official Arena homepage. See ya, Lars Breding, owner and editor of The Distant Arena (RIP)
