#013 - Arkaea

When I first heard about this band my expectations went up quite fast. Anyway in this band you have two former Fear Factory men Christian Olde Wolbers and
Raymond Herrera who actually founded the band. And i have to admit that I like Fear Factory quite a lot. I had also heard about band called Threat Signal whose vocalist Jon Howard and bassist Pat Kavanagh are the two other guys in this band.

Overall I was anyway little bit dissapointed their overall performance with their debut album Years in the Darkness which was releases in summer 2009. Surely this has the elements of Fear Factory, no surprise since Wolbers and Herrera have admitted that half of the songs are originally intented to be in the Fear Factory album. But I think since the situation has changed quite dramatically in that band lately they just decided to use those songs with their new band.

All the components are here and nicely positioned also, but "THE THING" is missing. Anyway here's their video track Locust from that so far only album.
