Guitarist/composer Flemming C. Lund comments: "We are extremely happy to finally be able to release our next opus in the continuation of the Order’s works in the shadows.

"We are relieved and honoured to notice that our extreme and layered brand of metal has found its way into the hearts and ears of many active listeners. Listeners who take the time this album needs to let it sink in.

"Thank you to old and new fans alike who have given this time and space to grow on them - let the reign of the Order resonate."

Distortions From Cosmogony is an album for which the word 'epic' does little justice. Its singular style combines the extreme, the grandiose, technical and melodic while telling the story of mankind’s eternal existential conflict between autonomy and submission.

Kim Song Sternkopf (MØL, vocals) and Bastian Thusgaard (Soilwork, drums) join long-time members Flemming C. Lund (guitars) and Kasper Kirkegaard (Hatesphere, rhythm guitar), alongside Anders Frodo S. Mikkelsen (bass).

Founded by Flemming in the 00s, with the aim of delivering epic, melodic extreme metal, The Arcane Order swiftly signed with Metal Blade, who released their first two albums The Machinery of Oblivion (2006) and In the Wake of Collisions (2008).

After a hiatus, the band then released Cult of None (2015), before another break while all band members worked on their other projects. Despite this, along the way, The Arcane Order have played a string of high-profile shows, marking themselves as one of Denmark’s most exciting underground metal acts.

In their time, the band have played alongside Carcass, Suffocation, and Testament; and they draw inspiration from French tech-death legends Scarve, Decapitated, Strapping Young Lad, and Ihsahn, among many others.

As the previous three, the new album was recorded by Jacob Hansen (Aborted, Arch Enemy, Volbeat, Katatonia, etc), with Jacob Bredahl (Lifesick, Eyes, Livløs, etc) recording vocals.

The result: a 54-minute long virtuosic display of The Arcane Order’s unique fusion of death, black, tech, classic and melodic metal. In the same manner, the subject matter of The Arcane Order demands a will to be challenged.

Distortions from Cosmogony revolves around eternal existential struggle, between autonomy and submission. This is a subject close to vocalist Kim Song Sternkopf’s heart – he grew up in an oppressive religious sect; subsequent loss of faith has led to a deep fascination with what leads us as humans drawn to hierarchies, vs our deep desire for independence and the existence of free will.
