UK 3 piece
Arcane Roots
have so far, in their
10 year period, released 2 mini albums (‘Left
Fire’ in 2011 and ‘Heaven & Earth’ in 2015) and
a debut full length album (‘Blood & Chemistry’
in 2013). They have toured and played shows
across the UK and Europe with the likes of
Muse, Biffy Clyro, Enter Shikari, Jimmy Eat
World, AWOL Nation, Fightstar
and many
more. They have also been an ever present at
UK and European festivals from Download to
BBK, Groezrock to Reading and Leeds.
After a wait of nearly 4 years,
Arcane Roots
return with their stunning, brand new 2nd album
Melancholia Hymns
, which was released
through Easy Life/Red Essential on September
15th. The band also released their new single
Matter
on 22nd May, following the world
exclusive first play on 21st May on the
Radio 1
Rock Show
.
The album release follows on from the first
single
Curtains
, and much like that track,
Melancholia Hymns
is full of ambition,
electronica, riffs, strings, darkness and light.
It is an album to lose yourself in completely, a
complex musical journey for your mind and
your heart. A record with so much love, care
and attention that you can’t help but feel the
passion that has gone making it and marvel at
its scope and sheer size.
Live wise,
Arcane Roots
have also announced
a full UK and European tour with local gig
(rescheduled from 6th October due to illness)
at The Slade Rooms, Wolverhampton on
November 8th
They will be joined by
Good Tiger
and
Gold
Key
.
New Album
Melancholia Hymns
is available now.
