Arcite – We Lie Awake

Releasedate: 29-08-2011
By: Sabine van Gameren

Arcite is a British Metal core formation which formed in 2009. The band has released a bunch of demo’s before and now it is “We Lie Awake” that got released.

The band states in their own info that they have not really succeeded in capturing the energy of their live performance as it is on recorded media before. Stating that obviously draw all the attention of the listeners to that, but since we miss out on a live experience of the guys yet we can’t make a comparing based about that. Yet it leaves us with five tracks that carry quite some vehemence. It’s filled with quite some good riffs, the band keeps a decent tempo in it and it all is mixed quite well. If the band is still thinking of not capturing enough energy they are either extremely picky on their own sound or the show must really blow you away. Judging these five songs the guys must be up to quite something and makes curious for more. Hopefully the plans for a full length are there and will we soon hear more about this band, but until then this release will keep us listening for a while.
