Arkaik's™ 2nd CD entitled Metamorphignition released : October 9, 2012.. Turn up your speakers so you can get a taste from this ground-breaking CD.  See the video HERE The bands intention to create a more mature and rhythmically balanced album that expands on their already fierce musical style has been accomplished. It will be an evolution in which the brutality and technical ferocity will not be lost; it will merely be accompanied by more musical elements which will add depth to the sound.
The music on the album is intertwined with a story with the intention of engaging listeners. It will take them on an abstract journey into the transcendental nature of humanity and the cosmos. They announced earlier that the artwork will be handled by the graphic master Tony Koehl. He is in the process of designing the CD and new T-Shirt art as we communicate. You can be sure too expect a cinematically sonic and thought provoking follow-up album from us! Already titled Metamorphignition ~ It will be an epic CD and has been likened to The Dark Side of the Moon of death metal.
Some preview music and artwork from the upcoming sophomore album titled "Metamorphignition" which will be released October 9th 2012 on Unique Leader Records. Artwork by Tony Koehl 2

We'd like to say thanks to Trevor from BDM for mentioning our latest album as one of his favorites of 2010! He says: Here are thirty metal CDs that kicked my ass in 2010. There are still plenty of albums I’m catching up on…but there were a lot of great releases this year, in my humble opinion... To read more Go To: Gun Shy Assassin
Trevor Strnad is the vocalist for Detroit, Michigan's The Black Dahlia Murder. The death metal band -- veterans of both the Ozzfest and Mayhem stages -- released its fourth LP, Deflorate, in 2009 through long-time label home Metal Blade. He's also an all-around great guy who loves collecting death metal from 1988 to 1996 and probably outbid you on eBay for that Adramelech CD
The Black Dahlia Murder Tour With Goatwhore and Arkaik

The Reflections Within Dissonance cover artwork was created by Pär Olofsson (ABORTED, EMETH).
According to the band's official bio, "The manifestation of ARKAIK began with the intent to create the most versatile and original sound in existence, using only the most intense, extreme and passionate influences. Caring not for the generic mediocrity that plagues the majority of all genres these days, they have fiercely sought after a sound that places them far above what is considered the norm. Human nature leads us to question existence, to find new pathways of thought and logic.
ARKAIK is the musical representation of this form of idealogy. Simply listen to one song and the plethora of musical influences that form ARKAIK are devastatingly apparent. This makes them appealing to all fans of heavy metal, regardless of their genre preference.
