Arkaik Metamorphignition

“Metamorphignition” official worldwide street date October 9th.

*"Riverside California's own Arkaik is set to release their sophomore album

Metamorphignition October 9th, 2012 via Unique Leader Records. The 10 song,

53 minute album was recorded in Oakland, CA at Castle Ultimate Studios with

Zack Ohren (Decrepit Birth, All Shall Perish, Severed Savior)"

"Metamorphignition" represents Arkaik's most inspired and integral

compositions to date. The album weaves together ten tracks with an

expansive musical journey told from the perspective of the central

character “Cyrix”, who travels beyond the physical realms of his “normal”

consciousness by means of self-immolation. His travels take him through an

intense observation of the conditions influencing the human experience, as

he once knew it. Moving fluidly through different moods and arrangements,

from harmonic to dissonant, brutal to beautiful, blistering to groovy, and

from a position that pushes the progressive death metal genre to the edge

of its skin, and beyond. A series of elaborate illustrations representing

the concept for each song have been created by visionary artist Tony Koehl

and fused into an unfolding booklet. Metamorphignition will take you on an

atmospheric exploration of life, limitations, illumination and a wide

spectrum of musical and visual reflections of a journey into the mind of

man.

Artwork was done by Tony Koehl.
