Arcano are a band from Argentina that plays a very atmospheric and melodic form of black metal and this is a review of their self released ep "Part I: Drowned In The Void" which will be released later in 2025.
Dark sounding synths and soundscapes start off the ep before going into a very fast and raw musical direction which also utilizes a great amount of tremolo picking and blast beats. Vocals are mostly grim sounding black metal screams while the recording also has its atmospheric moments and the riffs also add in a lot of melody.
Most of the music is also very heavily rooted in the modern era of the genre while the songs also add in a good mixture of slow, mid paced and fast parts. When guitar solos and leads are utilized they are also done in a very melodic style and one of the tracks also adds in a brief use of clear singing.
Arcano plays a style of black metal that is very melodic, modern, aggressive and atmospheric sounding. The production sounds very professional while the lyrics cover philosophy and mysticism themes.
In my opinion Arcano are a very great sounding atmospheric and melodic black metal band and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this ep. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Drowned In The Void". 8 out of 10.
