Arimea unleash a refreshingly raw approach to nu-metal with their latest
releases ‘Nostalgia’ and ‘Rinse and Repeat’. Weaving the elements of 90s
and early-2000s sounds that first inspired them into their already well-
established take on modern alt-metal, the band have crafted a heady
brew of nu-metal, alternative rock and progressive metal, with shades of
hardcore and hip-hop thrown in for good measure, that promises to be
your new favourite sound.
Since the release of their tech-heavy debut EP 'Castle Bravo', and the
subsequent ethereal 'Wish' EP, Arimea have brought their high-energy
live performances to venues across the UK, such as the O2 Oxford
Academy alongside Chapter & Verse and Press to Meco. Through the
powerful, energetic vocals of frontwoman Whitney Cooper, which flow
seamlessly with ferocious guitarwork and crushing drums, Arimea have
gone from strength to strength, amassing a respectable following of
loyal fans.
Having collaborated with Machine [As It Is, Amity Affliction], Arimea are
ready to release a refined but punishing set of singles that kicks off with
‘Nostalgia’, and its B-side, ‘Rinse and Repeat’.
"'Nostalgia explores the idea of telling a lie so much, you
start to believe it yourself, and you can live a different
reality...and you can kind of hide in that."
Whitney Cooper, Vocalist
‘Nostalgia’ is a multifaceted exploration of the illusory truth
effect that represents an important step in Arimea's evolution,
introducing more progressive tendencies to the playful and
evocative qualities previously on display. A dark and brooding
track that, like its namesake, draws inspiration from the band's
youth, 'Nostalgia' harkens back to the building blocks of genre-
defining bands such as Korn, Deftones and Linkin Park, whilst
injecting a uniquely modern flavour.
The B-side, ‘Rinse and Repeat’, is a short and sweet venture
carried by mosh-inducing grooves, and jerking relentlessly
between powerful choruses and filthy breakdowns,
demonstrating the band’s aggressive and chaotic capabilities.
