Probably
one of the finest undiscovered treasures from South
America, POEMA ARCANVS are here to prove that a continent
that is rarely connected to metal over here in Europe,
can, if they want to! POEMA ARCANVS has created their
2nd album "Iconoclast" with a world class sound production,
an epic and really memorable song writing and just
an amazing taste of musicianship.
It's a tasty introduction into their world of progressive
dark metal, often connected to the doom genre, where
they cast their spell with blasting clean vocals ,
occasional brutal grunts plus blackish screams, heavy
downtuned guitars, majestic and almost experimental
keyboards, a technical awesome drum work and powerful
melodic bass lines. It's a monumental and beautiful
work, at the same time as aggressive and almost scary.
It's Poema Arcanvs 2nd album, "Iconoclast"... A gem
for those who want something different...
POEMA
ARCANVS was brought to life in 1992 in Santiago, Chile.
They strived hard for creating something new, and
their goal has always been to reach behind the normal
concept of neither doom or death metal. This resulted
in 2 demotapes as well as a live cassette EP, before
they finally in 1998 recorded their debut album ŤArcane
XIIIť which was released the year after by the Chilenean
label Picoroco Records. Since then the band has developed
the strength of the band, both in composing material
and in the stage of performance. The band has also
opened for alot of more known bands, including everything
from Napalm Death to Moonspell, also playing alot
of concerts in their home country as headliners.
