Arcite

Members: Jonathan White- Vocals, Martin Webb- Guitar, James Newton- Guitar, Carl Dunn- Bass, Matthew Dix- Drums Already coming from established bands with years of live experience, Newcastle Englands five man metal outfit Arcite came together to produce music different and compelling from what a lot of people would dare, giving today’s trends and fad’s. Rather than trying to be at the forefront of the next flash in a pan genre, Arcite aim to present a typological construct that identifies their take on metal, combining all the elements they love and have been inspired by. Forming in 09 Arcite set out to establish their sound touring the UK and sharing stages with signed acts such as, Siege of Amida Records-Viatrophy, Traces, Eradication and Earache Records- The Boy Will Drown. With their whole reputation built on nothing but live performances Arcite started to release demos of their music to reach a wider audience but unfortunately couldn’t capture the same drive the music had live. This made them go to London to work with Dan Weller- Sikth/ Malefice/ Bury Tomorrow/ Rise to Remain, to record a single track ‘In Taylors Eyes’ which shows the potential of the band on record… 2011 shows the band stronger and more ambitious than ever, landing shows with bands like Glamour of the Kill, Shadows Chasing Ghosts, Shaped by Fate and U.S metal heavy weights Crowbar….with all this and much more on the cards, Arcite are defiantly a band to look out for in the near future.
