Arcane Roots disband

2018-08-31 by sizeofanocean | 37 Comments
In a statement via their Facebook page, the UK progressive / post hardcore / alternative rock announced that they will disband.

It is with heavy hearts that we announce the end of this chapter of Arcane Roots.

Over the last 12 years, we have achieved more than we could have ever dreamed of and seen more of the world than we could have ever known. The smiles & voices of each of our fans from all over the world have been such an incredible source of light for us, that I don’t think we could ever truly impart the gratitude we have for all of your love & support over the years. Thank you. Always.

Thank you to everyone in our team & those who ever pulled their sleeves up for us, you were our backbone and we will never, ever forget all that you gave us.

Now, it is time for us to look inwards and take on new long term projects and begin to fully realise the hopes, dreams & ambitions we have for our own lives & careers.

We hope you’ll join us for some very special evenings in October.


The band's final EP, Landslide, releases September 14th.

Completely unexpected news and a real shame. These guys are fairly local to where I'm from, too.

Heartbreaking news. Farewell to a stellar band. Maybe Andrew Groves will finally shave that god-awful bird's nest of a beard he's been growing for years. Thing's wretched.

Unfortunately, i don't think Andrew's solo stuff is going to be all that interesting. He's probably going to go all out on electronics and do a barely interesting ambient record. Would be a shame considering how good of a guitarist he is

had some great moments, but heaven & earth was peak, last album sounded horribly uninspired. Not surprised they broke up. Hopefully they release some great stuff elsewhere, maybe a reunion later when they get the feel back.

Last night Andrew just alluded to the fact that being a band was being really hard for them with the stress of touring and all the extra stuff that comes with that - illness, hardship ect. I don't think the band broke up because they were creatively defunct - more that they just didn't want to keep living like that

I loved these guys, really disappointed that they're going out now when it seemed like they were on a roll. But it's understandable, they have been a band since 2006 and a lot of bands don't even make it nearly that long.

This pisses me off, in a selfish way, of course. I loved this band and where they were going. But you could also tell based on interviews that last album seemed like a labor of love and the additional electronica elements were...divisive, at the least.

what a shame, glad they're releasing a final ep before they go their separate ways!
