Arcaine present with "As Life Decays" a debut album that has it all! Stylistically more inclined to technical death metal and with a pinch of melodic death metal extinguished the guys create on their debut album a bone-dry, brutal sound that almost breaks the neck of the listener from the first note. Relentless, hard as nails and yet groovy, the Swiss go to work incredibly adept. The thematic focus of the five, however, is less on death and the devil, but very deliberately revolves around current socio-critical issues. The band also wants to make the listener aware of his responsibility for the actions of mankind. The decadent way of life of people, their development and their treatment of nature is in the foreground and is taken up by the graphic concept of the Polish artist Xaay and visually implemented on the cover artwork.
