Arcane are the culmination of musical endeavor and intense live performance. We blur the meaningful with the complex, taking influence from wherever we can find it.

"Arcane" is the name of a character in the third book of Douglas Adams' "Hitchiker's Guide to the Galaxy"

Our debut album “Ashes” is out now

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
