ARKHAN is a 4-piece death metal bandformed in the western part of Switzerland in 2003.
The band recorded their first album "Dead End" in 2004 and promotedit through a series of live appearances and street promotion. Encouraged by thepositive feedbacks, Arkhan took a small break in 2006 to work on new materialand record their second full length album called M.A.C.H.I.N.E. The new trackssaw the musicians taking a slightly different approach in order to add moregroove and catchiness to their music. Recorded, mixed and mastered by ChrisButticaz (Arkhan’s guitar player) at the Toxic Studio in Lausanne(Switzerland), the album was released in Europe in April 2007 by the Frenchlabel Thundering Records and received many positives reviews by the metalmedias. Joined by a new bass player, the band promoted the album through many liveshows in Switzerland, France and Germany.

Unfortunately, Arkhan’s progressionwas stopped by the end of 2007 by various medical problems, including a brokenwrist and a thyroid disease.... but this was not the end! Arkhan took a brandnew start in 2008 with the addition of an insane drummer. The quartet startedto work on new songs, recorded a 3-tracks EP and built up a strong livefollowing with support slots to popular acts such as Obituary, Grave, Meshuggahand Entombed.

In summer 2012, Arkhan once againentered the Toxic studio to work on a new album called Primal. Recorded by ChristopheButticaz and Christoph Noth (FOH engineer for bands such as The Ocean), Primalwas mixed/mastered by David Castillo (Stockholm, Sweden), known worldwide forhis work with bands like Bloodbath, Katatonia and Opeth. The 8-tracks record isscheduled for release in January 2013 by the swiss independent label MonkeyRecords.
