ARCADIA is Italian band which presents fusion of Hardcore with Nu Metal. The band exists from 1996 year and they released several materials.
The album “Roy Philip Nohl” contains very impulsive music producing huge dose of energy and bursts of emotions. Their powerful guitar riffs, strong solos, clean guitars passages and climatic keyboards accents by share of very dynamic rhythmical section with multicolored vocals create dangerous explosive mixture. These eleven compositions (often surprising and very variables) possesses various voltage as well as are very diverse thematically and oscillate among crushing or furious patents as well as among full of melody and of melancholy insertions. The multispecies vocal phrases are worth of attentions, because they often appear simultaneous and their spread oscillates among growling, aggressive screams and melancholy singing, Rap-recitations as well as children's choirs The arrangements are very technical and often pretty complex rhythmically. Those features of Hardcore and of Nu Metal are glued by Progressive weld. The whole throws out the rage as well as the melancholy and calm climate also (sometimes even balladic). Therefore I think that ARCADIA is phenomenon (in some measure), because this is able to very easily manipulate emotions and mood of listener. And this mood is very labile here In my professional group – we call “rapid cycling” such frequent and quick change of mood and this characterizes some psychic disorders Despite all it is splendid feeling to feel these sounds and to plunge into fury or into melancholy.
English lyrical layer are varied by Italian texts and this additionally diversifies so richly arranged album.
