Ark Ascent for Progressive Metal

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

Ark Ascent was formed in 2011 as 'Prophecy' around multi-instrumentalist Jack Kirby, then 19. Pre-production for the tracks that were eventually going to make the cut for their debut album started that same year, with Rogue Marechal (ex-ShadowKeep) on vocal duties.
In 2014, after a couple of years rewriting and re-recording the songs, the pair then decided that a bass player with flair would be a necessity to bring their music where they wanted it to be, and Andrea Arcangeli of DGM fame was recruited and started recording his part immediately.
It would take a few years of fine tuning before the songs were to be considered ready for mixdown and Rich Hinks (Annihilator, Aeon Zen) brought in to co-produce and mix the album. Rich also contributed the bass performance on The End of Time, the song originally penciled in as title track.
With their first release, Ark Ascent take you on a journey, following the fate of humankind at the onset of a major disaster that will eventually lead to its destruction.
