US based Progressive Fusion outfit Arch Echo just announced they will embark on tour with Prog Metal Titans HAKEN in Spring of 2023 to celebrate the release of Haken’s forthcoming album ‘Fauna’. The announcement comes shortly after Arch Echo’s successful headline run in NA, and the release of the instrumental act’s latest single ‘Battlestar Nostalgica’. ‘Battlestar Nostalgica’ weaves through a diverse yet coherent mosaic of sonic landscapes. Thick nostalgic synths, engaging harmony and crushing riffs all come together to make a colourful and powerful piece of progressive music. Naming influences such as Rush, Alan Holdsworth and Animals As Leaders, the quintet draws inspiration from a wide variety of artists and also video games, bringing together a fun and uplifting soundscape that encompasses the nature of the instrumental quintet. You can watch the music video for ‘Battlestar Nostalgica’ HERE The band says this about the track “Battlestar Nostalgica is an offering taken from our forthcoming album that will be released in 2023. We wrote the song by bouncing off of each others’ ideas and influences and thought we’d inject a bunch of fun into the song.” Arch Echo will embark on a tour of North America with Haken in May 2023, and tickets are on sale now HERE Dates Wed. 05/03 Nashville, TN – TBA Thu. 05/04 Cleveland, OH House Of Blues Fri. 05/05 Toronto, ON The Opera House Sat. 05/06 Montreal, QC Corona Theatre Sun. 05/07 Quebec City, QC Imperial Bell Tue. 05/09 Boston, MA Paradise Rock Club Wed. 05/10 Philadelphia, PA Theatre of Living Arts Thu. 05/11 New York, NY (Le) Poisson Rouge Fri. 05/12 Washington, DC Black Cat Sat. 05/13 Charlotte, NC The Underground Mon. 05/15 Fort Lauderdale, FL Culture Room Tue. 05/16 Orlando, FL The Beacham Wed. 05/17 Atlanta, GA Terminal West Fri. 05/19 Dallas, TX Granada Theater Sat. 05/20 Austin, TX Come And Take It Live Sun. 05/21 El Paso, TX Lowbrow Palace Mon. 05/22 Phoenix, AZ Nile Theater Tue. 05/23 San Diego, CA Brick By Brick Wed. 05/24 Los Angeles, CA The Regent Theater Thu. 05/25 San Francisco, CA August Hall Fri. 05/26 Portland, OR Hawthorne Theatre Sat. 05/27 Seattle, WA The Neptune Theatre Sun. 05/28 Vancouver, BC The Rickshaw Theatre Tue. 05/30 South Salt Lake, UT The Commonwealth Room Wed. 05/31 Denver, CO Gothic Theatre Thu. 06/01 Lawrence, KS The Granada Theater Fri. 06/02 Minneapolis, MN Fine Line Music Cafe Sat. 06/03 Chicago, IL Concord Music Hall ABOUT ARCH ECHO Arch Echo is the brainchild of five musicians who wish to push the envelope of modern music. Their goal is to create music that is not only complex, but accessible to the listener, delivered with passion and enthusiasm. Formed in 2016, Arch Echo exploded onto the progressive metal/fusion scene with a debut self-titled album that gained worldwide attention, housing popular songs “Hip Dipper” and “Color Wheel”. Tours in North America and Europe soon followed including a mainstage debut at the UK Tech Fest in 2018. Arch Echo returned with a 2019 follow up “You Won’t Believe What Happens Next!” and again in 2020 with their 4- track EP, “Story I”. Tours with artists such as Dream Theater, Periphery, Plini, VOLA and a co-headline Japanese tour with Jacky Vincent brought their powerful live sound to new ears all over the world. Arch Echo recently participated in the Genshin Impact 2nd Anniversary Concert, Melodies of an Endless Journey! You can catch their progressive-metal interpretations of four iconic Genshin tracks, which streamed live via Genshin’s official channels on October 2nd, 2022. You can watch the full concert on Youtube HERE Arch Echo Timestamps: Overlord of the Thunderstorm The Crane Cries (Shenhe’s Theme) Chapter of a New Era (Yun Jin’s Theme) Myriad of Lights (Lantern Rite 2022 Theme) Arch Echo’s musical proficiency has seen them cross over into the gaming world to great success, and capture the hearts and minds of both progressive music and gaming fans, whilst simultaneously bringing an uplifting and fun element to their musical creations. The band, who recently supported Dream Theater on their US tour, join the likes of Angel Vivaldi, Hollywood Chamber Orchestra, Band-Maid and various other artists in recreating the soundtrack for the Chinese game in their own style.
