Question about Arkha Sva and Frozn

Närxhen · Joined: 07 Jan 2013 Posts: 162

I searched for some informations since a while but didn't found anything yet.

So here it is : I heard a song of the band Frozn (japanese Black Metal) called Requiem on my Grave and thought it was very, very similar to the Arkha Sva song "Requiem on my Graveth", so I would like to know if someone had some informations about a link between those two band (same guitarist, tribute...) or if Arkha Sva kind of rip off the other band (I don't think and they obviously don't need that but...).

Here are the songs :

Frozn : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1telp3q30E
Arkha Sva : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bifhnlsRezU

Thanks for your answers.

ps : If someone got a link to get for Frozn tape it will be appreciate !

By the way, I just saw on MA that Arkha Sva status is "on hold". Any informations about this to ?

I know jack shit about a connection but if you check last.fm's wiki history for Frozn, you can see that the first version said "Pre-Arkha Sva", but it was removed due to lack of proof. So it may be possible.

What the hell happened to the second Arkha Sva album "Oaikreme dai Saitan" which was supposed to be out on LP and cassette like 4 years ago? I think Those Opposed Records was about to release it.

The band is indeed on hold according to the last email I've got from them about a year ago.
As for that song, that's in fact the same song with different lyrics. I believe "pre-Arkha Sva" version is more or less correct, however I doubt you will get more details considering the band's secretiveness.

Anybody know if Arkha Sva and Avsolutized has any connection, because vocalist sounds exactly the same, yet i haven't found proof that they are same person?

Anyway, new Arkha Sva album would be most welcome, glorious band for sure!

Yes it is the same person.
It is obvious when you listen, but if you doubt it is said in an interview of one of the two bands. I don't remember which but I found it quit easily on the internet, you should check.

Thanks Noel for the infos !

Too bad for ODS, but everything is still possible I guess.
Don't really care about the re-press of Gloria Satanae and Mikama Isaro Mada as I already have the originals, but Odo Kikale Qaa is a good news !!

The band really need a compilation like this, I hope to see the songs from the splits with DTL, CoB and Hypothermia, ("Salute To The Dark" is fucking amazing") which are missing in my collection and maybe the songs of the EP.

Day one for me !

Best news i've heard in a while.

I also agree on "salute to the dark" being one of their best.
