Arcas was founded as an Atmospheric Black Metal solo-project by Enzo Brettschneider in Heidelberg, Germany, in 2021. Influenced by artists such as Heretoir, Alcest, Der Weg Einer Freiheit, Veldes and Kauan, the intention of Arcas‘ music is to allow the listener to drift away, experience beautiful landscapes and embark on an emotional journey while listening. To that end the songwriting centers around the contrast of fast and heavy Black Metal parts on the one hand and soft and mellow clean parts on the other. After several years of building a small home-studio, getting equipment and experimenting with sound, Enzo was able to write, record, mix and master his debut album by himself during several months in 2021.
