ArchaicA - Promo - The Creation Of Soul Album Release 2022

www.archaicaband.com

The Creation Of Soul is an album with 10 tracks of Symphonic Score Metal being released in spring 2022.

The symphonic metal project ArchaicA gets it’s name from the word “Archaic”, meaning ancient. In contrast to most pop music, heavy metal often bases itself upon mythical stories and elements that stand the test of time. The vision of ArchaicA derives from what remains unchanged regardless of the passing of time.

“I stood by watching and I seen ‘em come and go. I seen 'em make that million then vanish in the snow.”

- Primus, The antipop

Archaica’s first album release The Creation of Soul consists of mostly instrumental, symphonic metal songs that could fit just as well in a cinematic film scenario as in a rock/metal scene. Musical themes vary between scores that could fit in Sergio Leone spaghetti westerns, Greek style Olympic themes and Arabian settings. All set to the thundering noise of distorted guitars, bass and metal drumming. The universal approach of dwelving into the different geographical musical themes is meant to support the vision of timelessness.

“Hard times create strong men, strong men create good times, good times create weak men, and weak men create hard times.”-

- G. Michael Hopf,

ArchaicA’s vision seeks to explore why the genre is called heavy metal. Metal derives from rock both in musical form and in elemental form. It’s form is sturdy, hard and concrete. Metal and rock takes much pressure and effort to change and isn’t easily affected by circumstanses as opposed to a feather in the wind. Such is the aim of Archaica’s musical expression. Sturdy, heavy and without excuses.

“Pressure makes diamonds.”

- U.S. Army General George S. Patton

Skepticism of mankinds bureaucracy and disbelief in use of fiat currencies - which has no basis in any metal such as gold or silver - has helped the group finance the expenses of recording a large symphony orchestra. Silver and gold investments are based upon trust in real money that has stood the test of time and suitingly has helped finance this massive music project.

“Between the velvet lies There’s a truth that’s hard as steel The vision never dies Life’s a never ending wheel”

- DIO

The wisdom of the prophets have stood the archaic test of time and stands as the inspiration for much of ArchaicA’s material, such as the album title “The Creation of Soul”.

“The book of Genesis states In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was] upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be אור aur, light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that [it was] טוב tob (good): and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called ליל [layil, night]. And the evening and the morning were the first day. - Genesis 1 This is an Alchemical phrase. It is psychological. It is not physical; it does not concern physical matter. It concerns the creation of your soul.”

Musicians participating in this project, include:

Guitars: Michael Keihl

Bass: Torbjørn Stranda Myhren

ArchaicA will release their first album “The Creation of Soul” with 10 songs in 2022. The album is a result of many years of songwriting and the decision to take a bold step to hire a full symphony orchestra to accompany the band instruments. With influences from other symphonic, metal acts such as Stratovarius, Symphony X and Nightwish, ArchaicA wants to deliver a musical project that reflects the epicness of your regular movie score blended with the style of a heavy metal production. Did they succeed? You be the judge!
