Record Tracklist

  1. -:-- / 9:50

These five sweethearts from Cologne, who have played in the one or another band you might know, offer us two really looooooooooong songs (20 minutes) with some slower, really epic parts just to rock out faster and more energetic the very next second.

ARKTIKA sounds like a nuclear powered icebreaker. You might compare them to a mixture between bands like Explosions In The Sky, Mogwai, Daturah and Neurosis, Envy, Fall of Efrafa. A-W-E-S-O-M-E. the record comes with a beautiful etching on the b-side and a digital download coupon.
