Arkaik

Canyon Lake, CA  USA
June 29, 2008
The manifestation of ARKAIK began with the intent to create the most versatile and original sound in existence, using only the most intense, extreme and passionate influences. Caring not for the generic mediocrity that plagues the majority of all genres these days, they have fiercely sought after a sound that places them far above what is considered "The Norm." Human nature leads us to question existence, to find new pathways of thought and logic. ARKAIK is the musical representation of this form of idealology. Simply listen to one song and the plethora of musical influences that form ARKAIK are devastatingly apparent. This makes them appealing to all fans of heavy metal, regardless of their genre preference. ARKAIK mixes melodic and brutal death metal with the arctic malevolence of black metal, adds the violent assault of grind and the ethereal beauty of lavish and sweeping soundscapes.
