Doom Catacomb never ceases to surprise: after having accompanied us to the desolate polar regions, where the ice is eternal and every spark of life is extinguished by the cold, the grim bard annihilates us with a... thermal shock!

"Arid" speaks in fact about the hottest and most inhospitable deserts on earth: the temperature changes, but the result is always... the absence of life. Doom Catacomb has decided to tell about those places where nature is cruel, where the signs of humanity are erased without mercy.

Musically, this Doom Catacomb album is more innovative than ever: the dungeon-synth of the origins meets musical influences ranging from techno-trance to kraut-rock, from neo-folk to drone minimalism. The synthesis is a mystical, arcane sound, capable of evoking unfathomable mysteries buried in the sand of time.
