Arkayic Revolt - Atlantis Rising - Reviewed By metal-division-magazine ! https://www.metal-division-magazine.com/cd-reviews/cd-reviews-a/arkayic-revolt-atlantis-rising/

ARKAYIC REVOLT dedicated themselves to melodic thrash metal on their EP "Atlantis Rising", as you can hear it in the opener "The New Hypocrisy", for example. The sound comes out of the speakers extremely violently, but without seeming smooth. On the contrary, the guitars sound dirty and hard, just as they should. When you first listen to it, “Atlantis Rising” may seem a bit unspectacular. However, this is no reason to put this silver disc back on the shelf in frustration, because these are songs with typical grower qualities. Little by little, between the brutal thrash riffs and the murderous grooves, the fine melodies, like in the title track "Atlantis Rising", find their way into the furthest reaches of the brain, where they hit like a big kick in the guts. This is the finest Thrash Metal that genre fans shouldn't miss.

Release date: August 2, 2023

FFO: Metallica, Testament, Arch Enemy

Arkayic Revolt was formed in 2008 and released their debut EP, “Undead Man Walking” the same year, gaining an online buzz in the metal community and attracting the attention of Punishment 18 Records. The band signed to the Italian label for the release of their debut LP, “Death’s River,” in 2010, to critical acclaim and praise from thrash metal enthusiasts. In 2011, the band released the single “Innocence has Died,” but unofficially disbanded shortly after. Fast forward to 2023, Arkayic Revolt has reformed and released an EP called "Atlantis Rising" which features two new tracks - “The New Hypocrisy” and “Atlantis Rising.” The tracks hold on to the band’s thrash roots, while incorporating epic melodic passages and influences from a variety of metal sub genres.
