Love Among Ruins
“Arctic Sleep boasts with a range of genres in this beautiful album. From the first song you get a sense that this is going to be something special when you hear the first few notes of a cello! But dont let that deter you if you are looking for something dark & heavy. This album delivers on all levels and its all wrapped up perfectly with haunting melodic vocals. Just beautiful! ♥”

about

Arctic Sleep returns with their heaviest, biggest-sounding, most epic record to date, 2012's "Arbors." A caress of lush cello arrangements greets you briefly before this masterpiece jolts you headlong into the wormhole on a journey through the band's unique world of mystic forests, majestic oceans of sorrow, and other earthen realms. Arctic Sleep creates a soundscape that is unique among today's heavy bands in that it employs major-key riffing, intense down-tuned distortion, soothing vocals, classical instruments, themes of forestry and nature, along with modern-day production techniques with songwriting that pulls influence from a wide variety of genres including doom metal, 90's rock, space rock, classical, drone/ambient, shoegaze, post-metal, and the list goes on. Join Arctic Sleep on this exciting and blissfully heavy escape from reality.
