Arakeye's Record Is About 'Social Slavery Of Mass Media Manipulation'

Rising from the ashes of ChaosRadio and spending a solid three years tweaking their debut full-length record, Arakeye have never been more ready to drop ATMOSFEARS. "The current state of society always offers a multitude of topics of discussion when developing songs to compile for an album," explains Jason Fullwood. "We like to encourage people to challenge their perceptions through our music. Mainly issues relating to truth, acceptance, elitism, environmental and social issues such as depression and suicide."

From mellow rock ballads to hard rock and atmospheric electronica, the record follows an overall motivation: "Waking up from the social slavery of mass media manipulation and being the best human being that you can possibly be, flaws and all. Not adhering to social commentary and to question everything, because we feel a lot of this world is fake and outcomes pre-planned," says Fullwood. Though roughly half of the album's tracks have been rejuvenated from their original state - "Tracks like Singularity, Catatonic and Violent Seed have been around for a while" — there has been much experimentation to prepare for the final recording with Mathew Robins at Coloursound Recording Studio. "We've played many of the songs on our album in a live setting, it can help to iron out any doubts before you record them on CD forever."
