PREMIERE: Colossus – Arcane Existence

We here at Distorted Sound are delighted to premiere the new album from ARCANE EXISTENCE!

Titled Colossus, the upcoming album from the California-based symphonic death metal band is their second full-length album and ahead of its release this Friday, we’re delighted to give the full album its official premiere!

On the new album, the band intend to further expand and unfurl their vision for hard-to-pigeonhole symphonic black/death metal. From start to finish, the album’s thirteen tracks, ranging from two minutes to over six minutes in length, draw from a deep well of black metal and death metal influences to create theatrical and engrossing music you’ll want to keep coming back to.

Speaking about the upcoming album, the band tells us, “Colossus is a journey through a mystical land following a cult’s quest towards reaching the Colossus castle. Each song paints a different phase of the cultists’ internal conflicts of breaking through their own mind’s illusions. The lore of Colossus is told through hauntingly angelic singing and inhumanly dynamic gutturals. Melodic piano and dramatic layers of orchestrations trace the lingering and thematic guitars that create the magical sound space. The foundation of Colossus is driven by the ritualistically thunderous drums and rhythmic dark bass. Colossus is an intense cultivation of ARCANE EXISTENCE’s sound and represents the collaborative effort as a full band for the first time.”

Colossus is set for release on August 20th via self-release. Pre-orders are available now and can be purchased here.
