ARKONA Release Teaser From Upcoming Album

Arkona-2017

Russia’s leading and finest pagan metal band ARKONA, who are set to release their brand new album Khram on January 19th 2018 with Napalm Records, have just unveiled a first teaser and exclusive album preview! Get your ears on this first sneak peak, featuring all tracks from ARKONA‘s upcoming album right HERE!

A Khram, the Russian word for temple, is shrouded in natural mysticism slumbering behind nocturnal treetops, yet open to everyone. The sincerity and depth that binds all five band members together resonates in the sumptuously dark cover artwork and frontlady Masha`s lyrics, that are written in her own blood (which is also part of the artwork)! ARKONA may have used sound samples in their early days, but nowadays cellos, brass parts, wind instruments and throat singing are recorded live meticulously and flow naturally into the band’s harsh metal tunes: King-sized songs effortlessly shift from blackened pagan metal masterpieces to epic tracks with crystal-clear melodies and piano infusions. So better mark your calendars for January 19th 2018, as ARKONA’s Khram is an exuberant and demanding affair that defies genre boundaries with untamable spirit!

Coming as CD Digi Pack, Digital Download and LP Gatefold editions, Khram is now available to pre-order HERE!

Arkona-Khram

The track list reads as follows:

1. Mantra (Intro)
2. Shtorm
3. Tseluya zhizn’
4. Rebionok bez imeni
5. Khram
6. V pogonie za beloj ten’yu
7. V ladonyah bogov
8. Volchitsa
9. Mantra (Outro)

Arkona-Khram

Khram, is the Russian word for temple – and the upcoming title of ARKONA‘s hotly anticipated, eighth studio album, set to be released on January 19th 2018 via Napalm Records!

A Khram is a temple shrouded in natural mysticism slumbering behind nocturnal treetops, yet open to everyone. The sincerity and depth that binds all five band members together resonates in the sumptuously dark cover artwork and leading lady Masha`s lyrics that are written in her own blood (which is also part of the artwork)! ARKONA may have used sound samples in their early days, but nowadays cellos, brass parts, wind instruments and throat singing are recorded live meticulously and flow naturally into the band’s harsh metal tunes.

Now Russia’s leading pagan metal band has unveiled the stunning album artwork for Khram!

The track list will read as follows:

1. Mantra (Intro)
2. Shtorm
3. Tseluya zhizn’
4. Rebionok bez imeni
5. Khram
6. V pogonie za beloj ten’yu

POEMISIA Confirmed as Main Support for ARKONA Show in Kiev

Poemisia-Eluveitie-tour-4

Italy, Naples-based symphonic metallers POEMISIA are confirmed, as main support, for Russian folk/pagan metallers ARKONA on their show in Kiev, on March 12th!

POEMISIA comments:
“For all our beautiful Ukrainian fans, this is for you! After our very first show in Kiev just two years ago, our second one last year, we couldn’t miss this year, so it’s time for the third one! We’re very glad to support Arkona for this show and would be very pleased to meet all of you amazing people again! See you on stage!!”

arkona-poemisia

The musical style of POEMISIA is focused on sounds which combine metal music to opera and symphonic elements. This duality leads to a tendency to mark the continuous conflict between darkness and light, between death and life, between Hell and Heaven, sometimes also in a peculiar grotesque way. This is fully reflected also in the lyrics which have always a refined nature. POEMISIA Live video from Moscow, supporting ELUVEITIE:

arkona2016

Polish Black Metal pioneers ARKONA bring you a second song taken off their much awaited sixth album, “Lunaris“.

This imperial track, “Śmierć i odrodzenie“, is streaming on Bandcamp.

“ARKONA‘s approach to production gives “Śmierć i odrodzenie” a powerful, immersive sound. It surges with strength and energy, shrouded in a bleak yet grand atmosphere — mystical, majestic, and marauding all at once (…) True to its name, this is a dark and dramatic yet vibrant song, and a very memorable one — its haunting melodies will stay with you.” (No Clean Singing)

“Lunaris” is packed with 6 cold Black Metal hymns :

1- Droga do ocalenia
2- Ziemia
3- Śmierć i odrodzenie
4- Nie dla mnie litość
5- Lśnienie
6- Lunaris

arkona-cover

The morbid artwork was crafted by talented Artist Qras from MentalPorn Design Agency (BEHEMOTH, INCANTATION…)

“Lunaris” will be out on November 4th (November 25th in North America) via Debemur Morti Productions and is now available for preorder on Digipack CD (https://goo.gl/4grktT), Gatefold 12″ LP (https://goo.gl/WRKv8Z) and Digital (https://goo.gl/o9N98q).
