aRCANE a SYLUM Brings Us a Massive and Experimental Album

A massive album release from aRCANE aSYLUM delivers a soiree of blended approaches, textures, and soundscapes that range from industrial to alternative pop, cinematic vastness, haunts, and plenty more, all rolled into one gigantic record that takes you for a musical journey of sorts. If you listen to the record all the way through from beginning to end in one shot, it is quite an intense experience.

Nowhere Now has such a wild range of synths, percussion, guitars, vocals, and beats. This record has no bounds and no walls built around it, so when you listen to it, you have to keep an open mind because it almost feels like a cinematic soundtrack to a horror film.

There are waves of intensities and brilliant use of keys throughout this entire thing, and you can tell that not only was there a lot of attention to detail paid to the creation of this record as it was being done but it also holds this sort of theme that stays true throughout the course of the album.

You have elements of post-punk, new wave, darkwave, and more showing face, along with plenty of other influences strewn throughout the record’s playthrough. There is an experimental electronic approach that has a strange way of creeping up on you, wrapping its claws around you,  pulling you into its atmosphere, and keeping you there.

I love these kinds of tracks the most because they’re so outside the box, but work so well at the same time.

Tracks like “Renegade Soundwave” showcase such examples and really have a way of showing you the artist’s love for the craft. Creating these kinds of songs takes a certain patience but also a certain level of creativity and imagination.

These songs are almost like chapters of a book or scenes of a film.  they feel strangely interconnective and have a confluence to them that lets the whole record come through like a concept album.

Songs like “No Frontiers” have Fierce and sharp, edgy sounds with almost breakbeat feels and come with moods attached to them.
