Background information about 'Expect Us'

Arcturon delivers a crushing melodic death metal statement with "Expect Us" – an EP that bridges the gap between classic Swedish melodeath and modern aggression. This isn't your typical by-the-numbers release; it's a sonic declaration that finds its sweet spot exactly where In Flames once abandoned their death metal roots, picking up that torch and running with it into darker, more compelling territory.

The production quality here is absolutely stellar, thanks to the legendary Fascination Street Studios in Sweden. With Johan Örnborg, Jens Bogren, Viktor Stenquist, and Andre Alvinzi behind the boards – the same team that's crafted sounds for Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth, Kreator, and Opeth – every riff cuts through with surgical precision while maintaining that warm, organic feel that separates great death metal from the sterile masses. The four tracks showcase Arcturon's ability to balance melodic sensibilities with crushing heaviness, creating an atmosphere that's both accessible and uncompromisingly brutal.

For fans of:
In Flames, At The Gates, Dark Tranquillity, Arch Enemy, Amon Amarth
