SCREAM ARENA Reveal New Album Details; Cover Of ELVIS' 'Heartbreak Hotel' Streaming

British hard rock act SCREAM ARENA will release their self-titled debut on March 17th via Mighty Music / Target Group.
The catalyst for the Scream Arena debut album was famed US rock producer/musician Paul Sabu taking the band under his wing and guiding them along the way. Sabu was responsible for bringing the idea of a cover of the ELVIS PRESLEY classic 'Heartbreak Hotel' to the table and being keen students of history and believing that an acknowledgment of the roots allows the way ahead to be clear, the band agreed and with Sabu crafted a nod and a wink to the King.
Lyricist Andy Paul recalls, "We saw no real reason behind covering 'Heartbreak Hotel' but as we got into the idea we saw and appreciated the logic and indeed the song".
The remainders of the songs on the album are self-penned originals with the basic premise being that of telling a tale, be it real or imagined, but wishing to draw audience with ideas that they can relate to. Thus full tilt opener 'Born Ready' is Tarantino made rock & roll, while 'The Price of Love' is based on a very true tale where the names are changed to protect the badly behaved.
