Arcane
Known-learned
Known/Learned' is the third album from this thought provoking progressive band from Brisbane, Australia. It's a sprawling 2CD collection of themes and moments, captured between recurring characters. While never explicitly told in the traditional vein of the 'concept album', the imagery of Known/Learned depicts fragmented moments in the lives of a father and his daughter, their loss, their love, their journey: a bittersweet love song for life. Arcane's immersive sound, and the vocals of Jim Grey quickly found favor throughout Australia, finding them sharing stages with artists as diverse as Anathema (UK), Soilwork (Swe), Queensryche (USA), Dead Letter Circus, Ne Obliviscaris and hundreds more, Arcane's live show, often accompanied by a backdrop of staggering visualizations, is a vast sensory experience. Arcane blends the technicality of progressive metal with the atmospheric intensity of bands like Anathema, Riverside and Tool. The world is about to discover what their Australian fan base already knows - that Arcane is a rising star in the world of progressive music.
