New album, “III”, out on November 13th!
The Swedish melodic hard rock band ARKADO is making a spectacular comeback.
After the previously released advance single “Phoenix & Stardust” – a duet with ZHIVA’s lead singer Anette Johansson – had already been streamed more than 100,000 times on Spotify this summer, the sextet led by singer Philip Lindstrand (Cruzh, East Temple Avenue) and keyboard player Mikael Svensson is raising the bar even higher with “III”!
Arkado delivers a dynamic musical experience where driving hard rock meets the melodic sound of AOR and the pompous grandeur of symphonic metal. With dual guitars, giant choruses, virtuoso solos, rich vocal harmonies, and epic arrangements, the band creates a sonic landscape that feels both timeless and powerful.
The album was produced by Mikael Svensson and again mastered by Thomas ‘Plec’ Johansson. Artwork by Nello Dell’Omo.
