Archelon

Four-piece Sheffield band starting out in 2012 with the premise of creating atmospheric, heavy and melodic music. Creating a vast soundscape of sludge riffs and moving ambient melodies & big textures.

The release of second EP ‘II’ followed by a run of shows in the UK with bands such as Iron Witch, Pijn, Torpor, Fvnerals, Hundred Year Old Man, Mastiff and more, Archelon are establishing themselves in the metal scene not only for a huge sound but also an intensely atmospheric stage show.

“Monolithic and frankly epic in scope, Archelon’s debut record Tribe Of Suns is more than just another brainy metal album. It’s the sort of post-metal odyssey that few groups dare take. The band travels through wonderfully dense aspects of the darker side of the human psyche through the lens of ancient civilizations.” – Metal Injection

"There’s an architectural mass and bulk to Archelon’s work that’s very Sheffield, something that captures the feeling of a long walk in the Lower Don Valley, all lowering clouds and long shadows, the layers of history left to decay." - Now Then Magazine

"My excitement at the prospect of a full-length album from this band has been more than justified, and Tribe of Suns is an engaging and emotively atmospheric listen, one which I heartily recommend you experience for yourself." - Wonderbox Metal.
