Barren Cross "Atomic Arena (Reissue)" CD Icepick Lobotomy Metal Blade Records item #142722The 2020 remaster reissue of the band's 1988 release. By the time 1988s Atomic Arena was released, fans had already been whipped into a feeding frenzy with the song Deadlock being included on the massively popular California Metal Compilation.
