Arbors

by Arctic Sleep

supported by

Tim This is how you blend metal and melody. To me it's the perfect combo between groove, heaviness, musicianship and sincere emotion. His music either makes me tear up or wanting to take on the world.

joel menter why is "arbors" not available for purchase/download?

Neil Archer Artic Sleep remind me of the first two Smashing Pumpkins albums but turned up to 11 with smooth laid back stoner vocals. Favorite track: Pine Mountain.

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.

These guy's love the Devin townsend's Epic sound Which sounds as if its from another reality, And they make their own Hyper yet drifting Similar to seeing a comet whizzing by the atmosphere. A joy to witness but over, As soon as the majesty of it all sinks in! John Chaos Alexander
