Wake Arkane

Wake Arkane release 'My Coldest Land' music video

'My Coldest Land' is an extreme track infused with the pathos of Wake Arkane and the charisma of their singer Mike Lunacy (former leader of the historical death metal band Dark Lunacy).

Blast beats, refined melodies and dark riffs intertwine to plunge the listener into the dark world of 'Awakenings', the band's upcoming album.

This track is a testament to the musical versatility of the quartet, which is able to credibly come up with many different genres of metal music (in this case, even extreme metal music!) but remaining consistent with Wake Arkane's very personal "metal with pathos" sound.

As in the previously released music videos 'The Eternal Return' and 'Puppets Know the Tears', the main character is singer Mike Lunacy , who also plays the main character in the story told in their concept album.

The letters, also shown in the other videos, carry the prayers of men. Only Mr. Wake has in his hands the ability to realize or hijack their future.

As the materials of this immense record called 'Awakenings' are released, the pieces of the puzzle of the concept will be completed, so that the audience will gradually immerse itself in the incredible story written by Mike Lunacy and narrated by Wake Arkane.

The video was produced, filmed and edited by Davide Rinaldi (also member of the band Dark Lunacy) at ISO-lation Studio.

It will be followed by several other singles in the next few months.

The full-length album 'Awakenings' containing this track was mastered by the Swedish musician and record producer Dan Swanö and will be released by the year 2023.

In the coming months and after an eight years hiatus, the band will start performing live again. Follow them on their social media be updated about future gigs and news.

Wake Arkane is a progressive death metal band with distinctive romantic themes, aggressive rhythms, and refined melodies. The band is perfect for fans of melodic, extreme, and progressive metal music of the 1990s and 2000s who seek pathos and drama.

'Awakenings' is Wake Arkane second album, following 'The Black Season', their first one, recorded in 2012.
