Emptiness 04:42
I wish I was dreaming Horrible memories follow me wherever I am This is what I am A full circle of sadness and hope Dead in flames Consecrate and sanctify There is no one who could understand Get over the pain Move on, no time to give up Turned over a new leaf The only reasonable choice Escape from the pain Reborn from emptiness Born again as a phoenix Regenerated, no more victimized! Impossible to forget Alone in the cold snow Sorrow, redemption, ashes... Which may reborn again! Turned over a new leaf The only reasonable choice Escape from the pain Reborn from emptiness Reborn! returns! reborn! Shadows over the pain Reborn! emptiness! reborn! Reborn from emptiness

Never Betray 04:04
Everytime I set you free I wonder why I'm around All the feelings I've been found Are making my mind blows You don't know anything about my life but neither do I Tell me what you want to do and turn your way around But You ... don't ...know We'll never betray you! You.. must.. go and Come back and break it! As I look my inside world Life itself stucks me its horn I live in pain I live by blood Suffering death since I was born Can you tell me what's all about What makes this nightmare real Never trusted anyone Who kill by his own wounds But You ... don't ...know We'll never betray you! You.. must.. go and Come back and break it!

Silent unfaithful and miserable truth Eternal deceit but untouchable rule The holiest, the meanest, but the most weak in line Safe in my madness by inner dismay Revealed to me as I'm conscious again Awake, vanished dreams, but alone by myself Slippery life, need to escape, search for light The smell of disgrace and a note in my hand Struggling with pain Regretting old vows Ascending from hell Noisy and faithful and honored falsehood Fleeting confession but only imposed rule The sinner, the kindness and strongest in line On danger my peace by its outer reclaim Smelling old whiskey and blood on my palm The corpse of an old one just resting in vain A glimpse of macabre and inhuman harm The feeling of terror, of screams, of suicide Struggling with pain Regretting old vows Ascending from hell All that I thought was just weakness and hope! Weak and damaged by deathly sences Scars in my brain is what I feel Lonely souls are torturing me Pleasures of tortured flesh and bone Born to suffer, blackened shadow Doomed confessions covered in blood Blinded by old ghosts, surrounded by fear Crypted messages reveal my suicide ...my suicide! Lost and delirious on my own desires Vertiginous fall and painful shock Hate is the result if my surrender The need of forget all the awful sins Pain is the meaning of my destiny Mysterious voices are judging me Awake and lost in the deepest darkness Frightened but confident in my own blood

Fake, that's your soul False meaning of honour Lies, no honest soul Empty feelings and hidden rules Beauty, that's all you see Comfortably in your lonely room Guilty, horrible lies No trust! No tears! No trust! No fear! Just madness! Liar! Sinner! Monster! Forgotten humanity Liar! Sinner! Monster! Infinite denial No respect, no remorse, no regrets There's no expectation No respect, no remorse, no regrets It's a condemnation No hope, rotten soul Losing all composure Old boy, craving for peace Not even surrounded by fear Mistakes, burning inside Wasted youth and degenerated life Emptiness, no guilty mind No trust! No tears! No trust! No fear! Just madness! Liar! Sinner! Monster! Forgotten humanity Liar! Sinner! Monster! Infinite denial Dark mask, monster heart illusion of empathy but not for real Grey is the soul The nightmares just reveal failures Liar! You've lost everyone who may help to repair the truth History of diseases, brain damage, condemned to death Fucked! Liar! Liar! Sinner! Monster! Forgotten humanity Liar! Sinner! Monster! Infinite denial

about

After two years of hard work, now Arcanus put out their first EP, ‘Ashes’, a taste of the band’s sound, which has evolved at a steady pace from its very beginning. Recorded, mixed and mastered by Mr. Ax (Crisix, Obsidian Kingdom, Vivid Remorse) at Barcelona Axtudios in August and September 2016, ‘Ashes’ features session bassist Denis Fernández (former member of Innvoid and of the Cuban band Alyanza).

‘Ashes’ is a compendium that intertwines the primitive ideas of the groove metal of the 90’s and the roots of a modern really dark death metal. From the first riff of “Emptiness” to the last and diabolical notes of “Infinite Denial”, ‘Ashes’ takes you to the Middle East wars by the hand of “Oceans Of Blood”, to the empty bleakness of “Struggling With Pain” and to the bold forcefulness of “Never Betray”, which was the first song written by Arcanus and stands as the most direct track of the EP.

The artwork, created by the Portuguese artist Gustavo Sazes (Arch Enemy, Amaranthe, Morbid Angel), represents Phoenix rising from the ashes of hell. Who knows what else could emerge from them?
