During the last few years, Denmark has developed into a serious breeding ground for new talent in the hard music scene. Thanks to bands like HATESPHERE, MNEMIC or RAUNCHY, the country is rising up to its once unchallenged northern neighbors. The fascinating aspect is: all these bands have created their very own sound! They are the New Wave of European Thrash!

The latest addition to the family is THE ARCANE ORDER, a band comprised by (former) members of INVOCATOR, RAUNCHY und AUTUMN LEAVES. Their history began in the year 2000 under the name SCAVENGER, when guitarist Flemming C. Lund started looking for a new field of activity. It wasn’t until 2004 though that the band entered the sacred halls of master producer Jacob Hansen’s studio (NEAERA, VOLBEAT, RAUNCHY, HATESPHERE, ILLDISPOSED, a.o.) to record a first demo. After a long search for a singer, the right man was found in Kasper Thomsen (RAUNCHY), whose variable voice fit the band’s melodic and technical state-of-the-art death/thrash perfectly.

Said demo CD gained the band massive label interest, with Metal Blade Records coming in first. Wasting no time, the band returned to Hansen Studios to record their debut “The Machinery Of Oblivion”, an innovative and intense affair, which will be released in August 2006.
Here’s a piece of advice for all Danish bands: your biggest competitors now lurk among yourselves!
