ARIMEA have announced their debut EP!

Titled Orchid Street, the upcoming EP from the Oxford-based nu-metal band is their debut EP and is scheduled to be released in November this year, via self-release.

Speaking about the debut EP, bassist Joe Landles shares, “to be sharing something with the world that finally feels authentically us is something very powerful indeed. With our last few releases, it felt that we were holding just that little bit back and sticking to convention with regards to lyrical content, instrumentation and even the song structure. We want to show that we’re prepared to take risks and not settle for something you can get from any old alternative or metal band, we want you to KNOW when you’re listening to ARIMEA. Releasing this EP really feels like we’ve seen the line that modern heavy music has drawn in the sand, and kicked our way through it.”

Alongside the announcement of the debut EP, ARIMEA have released a brand new song lifted from the upcoming EP; Deliver Me. The new song is the second single to be released from the upcoming EP, following on from Liminal.

Speaking about the new single, vocalist Whitney Cooper says, “Deliver Me is a fun song that glamorises exorcisms and the unspoken role of a deliverance minister. After reading the book Deliverance by Jason Bray, I was engulfed into a world that I thought was only real in movies. The book had such a hold on me, I have always been a believer in the supernatural from a very young age. Deliver Me takes aspects of the book and twists them into a hollywood-esque exorcism, a picturesque scene bursting with horror and power. This is one of my favourite tracks on the EP.”
