A 2013-2020 metal project known for occult themes and the anthem 'Arcania'.
For a quick sense of their sound, start with 'Arcania' and 'The Masque of Red Death'. That's the band in a nutshell.
They carved out a specific corner of modern metal, pulling from black and thrash influences to create songs that stuck around. 'Arcania' became a genuine anthem in metal circles, and tracks like 'Nocturnal' and 'The Masque of Red Death' showed their consistent focus on dark, literary themes. They weren't around long, but they left a handful of songs that still get played.
The band formed in 2013 after a previous death metal project ended. They released three albums, including 'Infernal Dominion' in 2014 and 'Cult of the Damned' in 2016, before their third album 'Arcania' in 2018 gave them their most recognizable track. They disbanded in 2020.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
