THANK YOU so much for all of the support and kind words, it means the world to us that our music is getting into your ears! We'll hopefully be touring this October and beyond, stay tuned!
Arch Echo Just wanted to say, as I listen to this album more and more I find further enjoyment in all of the songs you guys created. Specifically Mind leading into Heart, I love the themes you created (the little piano melody right at the end that is the starting theme of Heart
fresh, amazing, inspiring great music! absolutely love the album, like early dream theater after 3 or 4 complete listenings it gets inside the blood!!!!
1. Earthshine 00:00 2. Afterburger 5:25 3. Hip Dipper 10:33 4. Color Wheel 14:41 5. Bloom 20:41 6. Spark 26:12 7. My Head Sometimes 31:55 8. My Heart Sometimes 38:21
Damn! I give up. I can't work anymore. It's impossible to do programming stuff while constantly drumming on my keyboard, headbanging all the time and have that big smile in my face. All the ifs and whiles got banged out. This is AWESOME and amazingly creative! I love you guys. You really rock my day.
Wow! So much melody and virtuosity! What a new generation of musicians: prog, jazz-rock, funky, metal: they play it as masters! Owane, Zytecki, Plini, Intervals, Arch Echo... So good music to listen to!
Seriously though I can't not comment. This album is nothing less than slectacular. Every single song has blown my mind, and the tones, the melodies, the genres, the dynamics, the adventurous feel that isn't lost for a second amongst the endless onslaught of fresh ideas from every angle... I'm in love.
You guys are gonna blow up INSANELY fast, this is by far the most musically advanced melodic metal album that isn't over-technical and weird. It has the same intelligent technical vibe of Animals as Leaders but has the dreamy melodic vibes of Plini and Liquid Tension Experiment, Seriously it won't be long before you guys are touring with AAL, Chon, Plini, Intervals and bands like that.
Saw the drummer on Meinl Cymbal's channel. Very solid, but the music caught my attention too. Came here. Totally not disappointed. In 6 hours time I'm leaving for a 15 hour drive, I think I know who's going to keep me company.
Jesus this is some of the most amazing stuff I have ever heard. I think a quote from my good friend sums this up pretty well. "A generation of musicians raised on WINMX and Limewire brought us an endless amount of music to inspire us and we are now seeing the fruits of it". Wonderful stuff.
The 3 stages of Arch Echo appreciation. "Huh, this has potential. Let's listen to this." "Wait, is this a joke? Did they make this to mock people who listen to overly complex music?" "No no, hold on a sec. This is actually amazing."
I was in a world of nothing good but creating bad habits on guitar. After listening, nothing but tears of inspiration. And with everyday life. I really mean this when i say it, thankyou for your hard work and perfect choice of notes. Great tone to the ear. You have done a very therapeutic thing. Lots of love.
You guys might not be looking at these comments anymore, but I came here after seeing your were opening for DT for a concert I'm going to. I thought to myself, "Oh great, an opener, hopefully this band I haven't heard of isn't too bad to sit through so I can hear the real show." But I had to check it out for myself first, and you blew me away. Your playing might even steal the show. Definitely earned a new fan!
Este Álbum es la perfección en estado puro... Me eh quedado sin palabras, esto es increíble, realmente nunca pensé que encontraría una banda que tuviera un estilo tan similar a mis gustos tonales en la música. La variación de tonos que utilizáis es maravillosa, esos cambios entre semitonos me ponen la piel de gallina. GRACIAS por vuestra música y disculpar el mensaje en español, mi ingles es bastante malo para poder expresarme exactamente.
I cant stop watching your color wheel video. so now I'm listening to your full album and now i just cant stop listening to EVERYTHING! i play keyboard and guitar and jammed with a keyboardist for a while too. honestly, I don't care for bands without vocals but you guys are seriously blowing me away with a mixture of good memories and vibes. keep up the good work and i hope to see you guys play out soon:)
This was shared with me today through an Ibanez group on Facebook. I listened to Afterburger first and I was floored, and I've been listening to the full album all day! You're all phenomenal musicians and it all comes together so beautifully; it's just outstanding and I hope that I get the privilege to see you perform live some day. I've already shared it with one of my larger Facebook groups. I'm behind you 1000% on getting your music out there and I can't wait to hear more of it. Thank you!!
This is incredible. I have been a musician for most of my life but while hearing this Arch Echo is making me get serious about learning everything I can about the instuments I play. This album is a complete masterpiece!
i just got this in my recommended page so didnt expect too much, but this blew my mind. the keyboard solos are so good and refreshing. you guys are gonna be big in no time
electric chills, the moment when you feel your skull open like a book and the universe just spirals into your soul making you a greater person. i strive for that as a musician and you fellas just nailed it. THANKS :D
Earthshine? Afterburger? Hip Dipper? Are we listening to a 50's Diner edition of Progressive Hippy Metal? Is it... good? Yes! \m/. Guitar work is awesome, btw.
It calms me down but it keeps me wide awake. Excellent orchestration and good production, it makes you able to listen every phrasing clearly. Greetings from Greece!
Man, I CAN NOT stop listening to this album. You guys are in for worlds of success. These are as cohesive a group of young musicians as any EVER, and that's.... saying something. frreakinn jjust like congratulations guys. Hhhhwow. 17/10 would listen again (and am currently).
I stumbled across this album - thankfully! Your music is eclectic, refreshing and uplifting. Your arrangements and melodies are both moving and inspiring. What phenomenal talent. Thank you for sharing your music.
Color Wheel gives me a Chimp Spanner vibe. This whole album is so sick. It's a complete and total breath of fresh air that this genre seriously needed. Also, thank you for spending the money and making a really nice sounding record. In this day and age there's really no excuse for a shitty recording. I'll be watching closely for tour info. I will for sure be buying a shirt and physical copy. Cheers. EDIT: Seven years later, I’ve seen you live three times and consider you one of the very best in the genre. Don’t stop!
Found you guys today via Spotify, and have shown you around to a few friends and family. Makes me think back to growing up and hearing my dad play some Satriani and Dream Theater and the likes.
My God, the compositions are so complex and tasty.,it's gonna be weeks of listening to this album before I'm able to whistle to and follow along the whole album! Amazing stuff, actually beyond stoked to find you guys!
The last decade has been insane, there's a lot of fresh additions to modern prog metal: Plini, Owane, Haamoja, Sithu Aye, Jakub Zytecki, David Maxim Micic, Pocket Size Universe, and now you guys, wow... This has to be one of the most solid debut albums I've listened to so far, I can't get enough of it, I'm glad I discovered your music.
Fantastic music Guys! God has gifted you with a great deal of talent and musical cognizance! Absolutely Dig your clever and mature use of scales and rhythms n harmonies! Very gripping! Well done!!
Hi there! Just popped in to have a look and I am more than staying. I'd like to say that I've just discovered your beautiful music and I find it nothing short of amazing - keep up the superb work! God bless & Merry Christmas!
I don't see Chon here. This is way more jazz-fusion-ish than both PLINI and CHON. Like someone said, the keyboard is very reminescent of Jordan Rudess stuff.
This album was a very nice surprise for me, but I will confess that there two minor stuffs: There are some VERY HEAVY influence, almost too much from Pliniowane/nuprogmetal, whatever you call it. And the keyboard seem to occupy a lot of the frequencies, I don't know if this was on purpose, sound design choice or whatever, just sound too techno/Electronic for me sometime. Sorry for the criticism, other than these two specific rants, I think this album is special and a huge debut. Congrats ArchEcho, enjoyed much!
I don't know if I'd have even noticed if I hadn't read this comment but you're right about the keys. Particularly in the heavier breakdown style sections they are just doing too much and taking away from the dynamic of the breakdowns themselves. The keys certainly are a welcome addition especially in some of the Dream Theater-y unison and back-and-forth style solos but too much makes them sound a little bit forced. You're also right about the heavy influence but I think that's inescapable these days and can appreciate that they've done their homework. I will probably listen to this one at least a few more times :)
Best modern djenty prog rock music i´ve heard so far. The composition and the great keys ( esp. Color Wheel solo ) , the unisono twin lines and the uplifting atmosphere are the ingredients that makes the difference between AE and hundreds good modern djent bands...The Nebular Helix comes next to this for me....Thank you for the music !
I mean, if you're into, like, 'good music' or whatever you'll probably love it i guess so
Blumen! :D
good is subjective, but after listening to this it seems objective
THANK YOU so much for all of the support and kind words, it means the world to us that our music is getting into your ears! We'll hopefully be touring this October and beyond, stay tuned!
Arch Echo Just wanted to say, as I listen to this album more and more I find further enjoyment in all of the songs you guys created. Specifically Mind leading into Heart, I love the themes you created (the little piano melody right at the end that is the starting theme of Heart
Arch Echo This is really good.
amazing work ! I'm loving it !!!
You are all amazing I'm praying for you
fresh, amazing, inspiring great music! absolutely love the album, like early dream theater after 3 or 4 complete listenings it gets inside the blood!!!!
I love this amazing Band !!!! Crazy compositions, big sound !!!! FANTASTIC !!!!
Fantastic!
Why do i see you on every music i like :D ?
I Invite you to listen to Cartoon Theory album Planet geisha / maybe you will understand why... ;-)
Ahah got it !
(and you got a new subscriber :D)
INCREDIBLE use of keyboards. Maybe the best metal keys I've heard
Dude shreds so hard. I bet his girlfriend is jealous of how hard he finger bashes the keyyyyyyys!
He uses plastic keys
Yes!!!
Joey Izzo Vs Vadim Pruzhanov
What's your point, with high-end keyboards they Still have weighted keys with real feedback Velocity. Still takes the same talent goofy@@chill29394

Great stuff
Cartoon Theory why would you do that? this isn't your band
That epic feeling when you click on a random band/song/album on youtube and you discover new amazing music! Good job guys!!
I just found it, by miss-click.... what a wonderful miss-click it was :)
This is sooooooooooo good!!!!!!!
I'm voting for a Plini, Intervals, Arch Echo tour in 2018.
Top comment right there!
doughboy777 david maxim micic too
Chon three
Can Widek come? Maybe Helix Nebula and Gru? Hell Chon, fuck it why not have Erra in there too. Just blow up the world.
Add in Modern Day Babylon and Wide Eyes. Make it an all-star eargasm!
Piano + guitar + synth + drums SICK very creative
Before anyone says it, I'm aware piano/synth are the same thing. Super cool anyway
Premium Deathcore Vocal Covers dont worry, piano and synth are not the same thing.
I have no words to describe this masterpiece...One of the albums of the year for sure!
This is such a fresh release!
Songs 7 and 8 brought me to tears:) I haven t felt this since Octavarium or The Mountain by haken. GREAT job ARCH ECHO. MTL awaits
Damn! I give up. I can't work anymore. It's impossible to do programming stuff while constantly drumming on my keyboard, headbanging all the time and have that big smile in my face. All the ifs and whiles got banged out. This is AWESOME and amazingly creative! I love you guys. You really rock my day.
Wow! So much melody and virtuosity!
What a new generation of musicians: prog, jazz-rock, funky, metal: they play it as masters!
Owane, Zytecki, Plini, Intervals, Arch Echo... So good music to listen to!
That change between "my head sometimes" and "my heart sometimes" is soo fcking awesome
Seriously though I can't not comment. This album is nothing less than slectacular. Every single song has blown my mind, and the tones, the melodies, the genres, the dynamics, the adventurous feel that isn't lost for a second amongst the endless onslaught of fresh ideas from every angle... I'm in love.
Best. Recommendation. Ever.
Angel of Orion Yesss!!
This proves rock/metal is still alive, although not mainstream but very alive and fresh.
Keep it up!
best track: Color Wheel. that keyboard solo is toooo good
Thank you!
Can confirm.
Seen him be an absolute savage on the keyboard in STL a few days ago.
Also, surprised you only have 53 subs. Let me fix that.
Sounds like Intervals, Mestis, and Liquid Tension Experiment all rolled into one awesome album.
Devin Cook yess liquid tension experiment vibes as hell
One of the happiest progressive metal albums! Keep the good work
Came here thanks to Sithu Aye, 2 minutes in and I can tell this is gonna be an amazing musical journey
Just wanna say .... plz don't ever stop play music you guy's !
From a guitar player who add an idea ...and ya did it ! BAM ! Respect !
You guys are gonna blow up INSANELY fast, this is by far the most musically advanced melodic metal album that isn't over-technical and weird. It has the same intelligent technical vibe of Animals as Leaders but has the dreamy melodic vibes of Plini and Liquid Tension Experiment, Seriously it won't be long before you guys are touring with AAL, Chon, Plini, Intervals and bands like that.
there's literally no way they wont be.
Kek they already toured with plini
Seeing them with Plini today :)
Now with Dream Theater!
Just listened to Afterburger, after eating a cheeseburger and I liked it even more :$
I was wondering if you guys were doing a full stream. This album is so fucking good, great work all around! Cheers guys.
as good as kaguu their new release! :D
Kaguu sux
sex*
Kaguu sex?
yeah guaranteed earsex
Som of the freshest music I've heard in awhile. Awesome job guys!
Prog is getting even better. This sets a benchmark.
Saw the drummer on Meinl Cymbal's channel. Very solid, but the music caught my attention too. Came here. Totally not disappointed.
In 6 hours time I'm leaving for a 15 hour drive, I think I know who's going to keep me company.
Thanks for checking out our music, and the Meinl video! Hope the drive was fun!
Finally getting round to listening to this. I think I just found a new band to place in my top 5!
Who got kicked out?
Luigi Masella yeah who got kicked out lmao
Jesus this is some of the most amazing stuff I have ever heard. I think a quote from my good friend sums this up pretty well. "A generation of musicians raised on WINMX and Limewire brought us an endless amount of music to inspire us and we are now seeing the fruits of it". Wonderful stuff.
That's just too good to handle at once.
RIght? This is incredible
And the production just sounds insanely good !
Greg Chalabi Adam did a fantastic job mixing, they really just did something so creative here and made it sound perfect.
thank God that talent like this still exists... I'll definitely be buying this from Bandcamp soon
The 3 stages of Arch Echo appreciation.
"Huh, this has potential. Let's listen to this."
"Wait, is this a joke? Did they make this to mock people who listen to overly complex music?"
"No no, hold on a sec. This is actually amazing."
What one may call complex
Another would call acquired taste.
I was in a world of nothing good but creating bad habits on guitar. After listening, nothing but tears of inspiration. And with everyday life. I really mean this when i say it, thankyou for your hard work and perfect choice of notes. Great tone to the ear. You have done a very therapeutic thing. Lots of love.
It's like Jazz Club and Metal Club were double-booked, so they decided to just jam together.
I forgot to say thank u so much for your dedication to your instruments. If you wouldnt of stuck with it this CD would of never been. Thank u.
MmmmmmMmmmmm feels like christmas morning everytime I pop open this goodness. Ya'll are unreal
You guys might not be looking at these comments anymore, but I came here after seeing your were opening for DT for a concert I'm going to.

We see you! Thanks for listening ❤️
8:25 to 9:00 just gives me goosbumps!!! This is so amazing!!!
One of the pleasures of living on a GMT+1 country is hearing this album right after waking up! So much light on the darkness of the dawn. Sublime!

i listen to this album at least once everyday. So good!

This is really incredible stuff guys
Chris, is there any new last chance to reason material in the works?
This is incredible. I have been a musician for most of my life but while hearing this Arch Echo is making me get serious about learning everything I can about the instuments I play. This album is a complete masterpiece!
I'm beginning to wonder if we won't all look back on this as a golden age era of progressive metal fusion in 50 years.
A true musical masterpiece.
Unique, exotic, sincere and has a lot of flavors in it.
This album might change the world
i just got this in my recommended page so didnt expect too much, but this blew my mind. the keyboard solos are so good and refreshing. you guys are gonna be big in no time
no way!! finally fresh air!!! I can breathe again...thanks
10:08-10:33. People at work thought I was having a seizure while I was moving about. Love the album guys. Take care.
I somehow managed to get here from a video of Adam Neely's about jazz reharmonization... Must say, I am most definitely not disappointed by this.
Elijah Herald Adam Neely! I really enjoy his vids.

Greetings from Greece!
Sithu Aye told me to listen so I did. And I am glad I did. Holy crap this is amazing.
Lovely album. My favourite song is 'My heart sometimes' the build up starting at 41:36 is just magical with the sexy guitar solo right after it.
you guys are the next thing, no doubt
Mack Barrow no doubts
It's hard finding great music these day. I listen to this album daily.. sometimes 3 times a day or more.
Great job Joey and crew! Miss ya buddy
Thanks Lucas :)
My gosh! Guys, your work is simply fantastic! I'm listening to this album every day and night and ca't stop!
Una batalla de instrumentos!

Sithu sent me
Pocket Sized Universe sent me! Dude this music is out of this world, amazing.

RUclips reccomendations sent me.
One of the few great such times.
Recommendations algorithm sent me :)
I heart this band.. And your face❤️
My God, the compositions are so complex and tasty.,it's gonna be weeks of listening to this album before I'm able to whistle to and follow along the whole album! Amazing stuff, actually beyond stoked to find you guys!
Liquid Djentsion Experiment , great stuff!
sounds like your local forecast on the 8's with metal influences, how awesome
A. MA. ZING.
The last decade has been insane, there's a lot of fresh additions to modern prog metal: Plini, Owane, Haamoja, Sithu Aye, Jakub Zytecki, David Maxim Micic, Pocket Size Universe, and now you guys, wow...
This has to be one of the most solid debut albums I've listened to so far, I can't get enough of it, I'm glad I discovered your music.
fanfuckingtastic
million times yes
its like chon + anime × mega man ÷ the sqaure root of badassness
Fantastic music Guys! God has gifted you with a great deal of talent and musical cognizance! Absolutely Dig your clever and mature use of scales and rhythms n harmonies! Very gripping! Well done!!
fantastic!!
Leonardo Guzman tu eres el de los solos increíbles que ganaron varios concursos verdad?
This band was a huge revelation for me right when I was thinking that nobody new and talented was coming
Wow.... who is this Joey Izzo??? Dude is killing it.
12:52 is quite possibly the coolest breakdown I've ever heard. I'm pretty sure I've listened to it more than a hundred times at this point.
110 vocalists disliked this incredible album.
Haha. Not me. This is awesome 😎
Not me either. But maybe it's because Im a keyboardist in addition to vocalist :))
Hi there! Just popped in to have a look and I am more than staying. I'd like to say that I've just discovered your beautiful music and I find it nothing short of amazing - keep up the superb work! God bless & Merry Christmas!
Cartoon Theory brought me here. Really digging My Head Sometimes. 2017 is turning out to be another great year for prog.
hello ^^
been listening to this, planet geisha and Periphery 3 for months now. I hear something new every time. you're all brilliant artists!
Cartoon Theory ernagerd!
Its certern thererrre!
You guys are awesome!
love that band
My favorite album of the year so far. Truly happy music of this quality is getting some attention
if Plini and CHON had a baby...
more like if dream theater and plini had a baby :p
Alexander Lev Yep! Lotta of Jordan Ruddess worthy synth work in this album.
kRVRKV Gaming plino
I'm crying cuz it's true.
I don't see Chon here. This is way more jazz-fusion-ish than both PLINI and CHON. Like someone said, the keyboard is very reminescent of Jordan Rudess stuff.
10:50
15:24
17:36
23:55
I love you guys!!
;-D
i love more !!! hahaha
Yes! :)
hahahaha OK
This is wonderful ! This album inspires me to become better at playing guitar and exploring music making.
This is out-of-this planet amazing !
What kind of PlinOwane is this ?
That's exactly what I was thinking about :D !
This album was a very nice surprise for me, but I will confess that there two minor stuffs: There are some VERY HEAVY influence, almost too much from Pliniowane/nuprogmetal, whatever you call it. And the keyboard seem to occupy a lot of the frequencies, I don't know if this was on purpose, sound design choice or whatever, just sound too techno/Electronic for me sometime. Sorry for the criticism, other than these two specific rants, I think this album is special and a huge debut. Congrats ArchEcho, enjoyed much!
no need to apologize for simply stating your taste differs somewhat.

Particularly in the heavier breakdown style sections they are just doing too much and taking away from the dynamic of the breakdowns themselves.

Plini, Owane, and Haamoja
This is some driving music right here. Big props
my heart sometimes color wheel hip dipper .
Plini 669 My favorites of the album by far
This is hands-down the best mix of metal, soft jazz and classical I've ever heard.
Surprise? Sound Struggle members! Greetings from chile lml
this feels like a more fleshed out version of the whole plini style stuff, have a feeling this will be an important album.
Plini sent me here. You guys are fucking sick.
Best modern djenty prog rock music i´ve heard so far. The composition and the great keys ( esp. Color Wheel solo ) , the unisono twin lines and the uplifting atmosphere are the ingredients that makes the difference between AE and hundreds good modern djent bands...The Nebular Helix comes next to this for me....Thank you for the music !
