Arcadea Signs With Relapse Records

Hailing from the fringes of the cosmos, Arcadea will make its arrival known in 2017 with a debut, self-titled album due out on June 16th via a recently-inked inked deal with Relapse Records. Pre-orders and other details will arrive shortly, but for now check out a video for previous song "Gas Giant" below.

Arcadea was born when drummer / vocalist Brann Dailor (Mastodon) teamed up with upside-down guitarist & keyboardist Core Atoms (Zruda) to create a synth-laden, heavy psych band. Adding guitarist Raheem Amlani (Withered) on synths, the three recorded a visionary 10 song odyssey at Orange Peel Studios in Atlanta, GA.

Unlike the group's other bands, Arcadea uses only keyboards in a unique blend of crushing, organic drums and psychedelic synthesizers. The music is at once electronic but not electronica, synthetic but not processed, heavy but not metal.

The album envisions a future 5 billion years from now, where the impending collision of galaxies creates a new order of planets. Where cold, distant moons pledge alliance to new suns and expanding gas giants implode into black holes. Ancient drones, forever adrift, record toxic tales of love between dying stars. Where lifeforms in suspended animation dream among the ice rings of Saturn and cosmic war wages among gods and planets.
