ARCADEA release “Lake Of Rust” lyric video

Arcadea unveil a final preview of their forthcoming album, the ultra-groovy, synth-driven “Exodus of Gravity” (Aug. 22, Relapse Records), with today’s release of “Lake of Rust” and its hypnotic lyric video that once again builds on the surreal, Skinner-created album artwork.

“Lake of Rust” explodes with a steady blast of synth stabs as Brann Dailor’s heavy metal vocal delivery tears across the stereo field. “This is where our hero is crossing this giant lake of lava with floating icebergs in it,” Core Atoms explains. “They’re heading towards the galactic lighthouse where New Arcadea’s mysterious source of light originates. This is everything they see on their adventure. In terms of human emotion, it’s power, anger and revenge. It’s about getting there and saving the day no matter what.”

Musically, the track draws from Dailor’s affinity for progressive and electronic music: “I like synth-based music, and that’s a big part of my musical catalog at home: seventies French electronic stuff, in the realm of Arcadea,” he says in a newly published interview with Revolver. “Some of my favorite stuff from the bigger prog groups out there, like Genesis, are the synth moments. I wanted to make an album that sounded like those moments.”
