AN AMALGAMATION OF LOSS, DEFEAT, AND RENEWAL

johanmacky Beautiful tones throughout the entire album Favorite track: BEYOND AND ABOVE OUR HEADS IS A LIFE UNATTAINABLE.

@scab_vendor Great album from start to finish, beautiful lulls of lush ambiance bleed into intense and finely crafted swells of noise. Highly recommended for fans of Old Man Gloom.

Сats and Metal Media An intense post metal - “doomgaze” if you will - release to brighten (or sadden if you will) the beginning of 2022 for every fan of Neurosis, Cult of Luna of Old Man Gloom. I mean Arcem play that kind of melodic post metal combined with deep low vocals, the formula perfected by Isis, and it just works.

Ivan Satanov God I love those melancholic tunes. I think the tension that is built up with such well paced development is truly cathartic and euphoric. Arcem never rush and put their personal twist on established post metal tropes and deliver a truly liberating experience.

Riffmaster General Gloomy mid tempo metal with a massive wall of sound, tonnes of reverb and nice volume changes. The songs are not too long to get you bored, but long enough to show the songwriting skills. The album sounds exactly how you expect from its title.

Eddie van Helen heavy and gloomy AF!

about

Arcem’s debut full length album titled, “An Amalgamation of Loss, Defeat, and Renewal” sounds just as the album title states. It is a journey in which the band leads you down from its soaring highs and beautiful cleans to its devastating lows and crushing repetition.

Each member brings their own specialty to the table to make this album a harmonious conquest. Whether it be the guitars weaving and intertwining with each other, the bass’ unrelenting groove and destruction, or the drums calculated and articulated force.
