Acolyte Zero: And now you get to know

May 26, 2008 08:16

So... you may or may not have been asking yourself... What Is May 26?
And now I can lift the veil.
It being May 26 and all.

Arcane are proud to announce the completion of their second album, titled 'Chronicles of the Waking Dream' due for imminent release through OzProg.com.

This highly anticipated concept album is Arcane's finest work to date, dealing with interwoven themes of synchronicity, perspective, and our very human reactions when confronted with the inexplicable.

The concept itself revolves around the date of May the 26th, as seen in the online appearance of the website www.260508.com, and its affiliated Myspace presence, www.myspace.com/whatismay26, both of which have been spreading convoluted messages regarding the phenomenon of May 26. The messages, a plea for assistance and a call to follow, were signed only as 'Acolyte Zero'.

The full track listing for 'Chronicles of the Waking Dream' is as follows:

  • Glimpse
  • The Seer
  • The Malice
  • The First Silent Year
  • Secret
  • Fading
  • The Second Silent Year
  • May 26
  • The Third Silent Year
  • Asylum: Acolyte Zero
  • Whisper

    Ha! Sorry for screwing you guys around with viral marketing, but Jim did make me promise not to actually say what was going on until May 26. When they were recording Ashes last year they had a lot of trouble getting it finished because the whole community was hearing everything they recorded and there was a lot of critique going on. They ended up doing several different recordings of the album before they finally released it.

    The website for Chronicles of the Waking Dream is gorgeous by the way.

    To hear the teaser, head over to Arcane's myspace, which is looking quite pretty right now.

    From what I've heard from Chronicles so far, the sound is so much bigger than Ashes. The whole album is just amazing.
