Texas 4-piece metalcore act Circa Arcana from El Paso Texas bring forth a mixture of melodic aggressive vocals, bouncy breakdowns and hard-hitting riffs. Led by members Johny Serna (guitar), Jonny Garcia (drums), Federico Corral (bass), and Kevin Cangas (vocals) the band released their first single "ESOTERIC" on Jan. 2021. Touching on the struggles of overcoming one's personal demons, “ESOTERIC” led the way to the bands second single “THE TOWER”, released on June of 2021 touched on the ideas of sanity vs madness, death and the occult. Encompassing a blend of influences from metalcore & post-hardcore acts, Circa Arcana have defined their sound to give the listener a nostalgic yet new variation of sound to the metal music scene. The band's first EP titled “Bridget Vīgintī” (which title derives from the name of the first “witch” burned during the “Salem Witch Trials” and the Latin number “20”, symbolic for the number of “witches” burned during the trials) is set for release on February 18th 2022. The band released their second EP titled “F.U.C.K. Y.O.U” on September 1st 2023. The record is more aggressive in your face, making it the bands most aggressive, meanest record yet. Since its release the 4 piece has been on a tour circuit and are continuing to write new music.
