  Genre-defying metal NYC outfit ARC is sharing a tour recap video from their two support show dates with Visions of Atlantis at the beginning of April in Mechanicsburg, PA, and Brooklyn, NY.

  "TRANSMISSION COMPLETE // LOG ENTRY: APRIL 5TH]

  Mission: ARC LIVE OPERATION Status: SUCCESSFULLY EXECUTED

  "On April 5th, ARC deployed a full-scale sonic assault alongside the legendary Visions of Atlantis and the unstoppable force that is Seraina Telli. Frequencies were unleashed, systems overloaded, and the energy was out of this world. We extend our deepest gratitude to Visions of Atlantis and Seraina Telli for sharing the stage and the stars with us. It was an honor to journey through the soundscape together. To all who joined the transmission, you made it unforgettable.

  TRANSMISSION LOG CLOSED // STAY TUNED FOR FUTURE SIGNALS," comments the band.

  ​ARC is also sharing with fans its latest lyric video, "Magnitudes," in support of its latest EP, “Awaken The Machine”. The track speaks about the part of your brain that shuts everything off so you can conquer anything.

  "Robotizing your human aspects and pushing through life as a mindless machine so you can win," adds the band.

  Watch and listen to Magnitudes"

  ​

  Founded on visionary Sonny Angell's ambition to create a performance-based band with boundary-pushing music, ARC has rapidly established itself as one of the most innovative acts in modern metal. The band's philosophy, ‘ARC EVOLVES,' drives their constant reinvention and elevation of their sound and stage presence. They comment on what is in store:

  “We constantly try to raise the bar, enhance our stage show, expand our thematic elements, and experiment with different musical styles. ARC is ambiguously mysterious, ARC is energy and machines. Human interpretations are on stage playing the music, however, ARC is all around us. Information being transmitted from... Somewhere in parts of your brain, you didn’t know you had.”

  The band performs with meticulously planned choreography, custom costumes, specialized stage lighting, props, and synchronized on-screen visuals—all managed by a dedicated stage manager who travels with the band exclusively to orchestrate their technical production.

  ARC's music seamlessly fuses the brutality and melody of extreme metal with retro-futuristic synth-wave electronica, creating an all-out assault on the senses. Their frenetic live shows combine lasers, smoke, blood, sweat, and the band's relentless energy in a performance experience that must be witnessed to be believed. They are recommended for fans of Rammstein, Dark Tranquility, and Dance with the Dead.

  Their latest EP, "Awaken The Machine" (released Nov 15, 2023) is available on Arc-evolves.bandcamp.com and Spotify.

• Newfoundland Duo ARTACH Put A Black Metal Tinge On Industrial w/ New Video "Frozen Factory" Off EP "Sgrios" Out July 2024

  Jun 26, 2024 Fistoffreedom 0 Comments

   

  From the frost-bitten depths of Newfoundland, Canada, black metal duo ARTACH return this summer to present their experimental side with their latest EP "Sgrios" out this July 2024, which will later be followed by a third full-length this coming Fall (to be released on vinyl via Adirondack Black Mass), and will once again feature their signature sound.

  The upcoming EP "Sgrios" might surprise some listeners as the band took on an experimental direction to incorporate more industrial metal sounds. Bands like Rammstein, Fear Factory, and Pain for example. However, it’s still them and still has all the elements from their previous releases.

  For the "Sgrios" EP, the black metal spin on industrial metal is a mash of styles that the duo hadn’t heard much of and felt was something fresh and original.

  "Not a ton of Black Metal bands will have Rammstein-esque synth guitar sounds, tremolo-picked riffs, and harsh black metal vocals. We talked about doing this “industrial-styled” 4 song EP to keep active and experiment ahead of the release of our 3rd full-length in the fall of 2024. At first, we thought about calling it a different project name, but quickly realized we could and would make it close enough to the Artach style to keep the name. You will hear industrial metal through the Artach blackened-thrash lens." adds Sruthán (Guitar/Bass).

  Lyrically, the topics explored on the "Sgrios" EP cover technology, apocalyptic themes, and some tongue-in-cheek suggestive topics ('Sgrios" translates to English as destroy, ruin, ravage, annihilate, etc.). The "Sgrios" cover artwork has the duo in robot form in a frozen industrial wasteland. It fits with the lyrical topics for the EP perfectly.

  Today, the band shares their lead single off the EP entitled "Frozen Factory", a track about environmental collapse due to greed.

  "We chose this one as it serves as a bridge between what you’ve come to know Artach for and the other songs on the EP. It was the last song written for this EP. When we were doing the others, which had more synth-sounding guitars etc, we thought we needed something heavier so taking inspiration from some bands like Fear Factory, etc we crafted an Artach take on that side of industrial metal." says Sruthán (Guitar/Bass)

  ​

  Due out on July 6th, 2024, "Sgrios" is available for pre-order at https://artach.bandcamp.com​

  Track Listing​
  1. Frozen Factory - 3:00
  2. The Black Hole - 3:32
  3. Super-Cybernetic - 3:18
  4. Atomic Cabaret - 3:04
  EP Length: 12:55
