Volume II by Sons of Arrakis

SONS OF ARRAKIS will release their second album, Volume II, via Black Throne Productions on June 21, 2024. Volume II showcases a fusion of influences and themes, resulting in a tapestry of compelling tracks, each with its distinct character. SONS OF ARRAKIS' main thematic influence on Volume II is familiar; many of the lyrical themes and dusty, crunching atmosphere draw their inspiration from Frank Herbert's Dune novels. However, SONS OF ARRAKIS do not limit themselves to this universe; the influences of literary giants such as Dostoyevsky, Chekhov, Camus, Gary, Sartre, and Lovecraft reveal themselves layer by layer all throughout the album. The stories in the lyrics are more than merely superficial interpretations of existing works; rather, they strive to evoke profound emotional connections within the listeners. Frédéric Couture boldly weaves tales that carry both fictional and deeply personal narratives, giving the songs a uniquely memorable identity beyond retellings of older stories.

Musically, each song's journey begins with the band's guitarist, who often immerses himself in the world of music on an old acoustic guitar, allowing his ideas to flourish freely. As the main riffs and song structures take shape, the transition to electric guitar and drums occurs, a process that facilitates collaboration with fellow band members. Their inputs add further layers of depth and richness, transforming the initial concepts into unique and idiosyncratic musical experiences. The band's influences range from doom metal to psychedelic rock and many colorful shades in between, turning the musical landscape of Volume II into a modern, heartfelt love letter to giants such as BLACK SABBATH and QUEENS OF THE STONE AGE.

The home to some of the world's best heavy psych, stoner, doom and heavy metal.
