Arcana singns to Kalinkaland Records

2006-07-11 (News)

Swedish cult band Arcana has decided to sign up for the next full-length album to German label Kalinkaland Records. Since 2003 Arcana has been under the wings of Peter Bjärgös' own label Erebus Odora, but lack of time and financial difficulties makes it hard to keep it up. Kalinkaland's 4 AD feeling, with bands not only into the gothic and industrial scene (artists like Jo Gabriel, Idaho, Unto Ashes, Soul withering somewhere and Harald Löwy's own Chandeen) is a good choice for Arcana.

Castle Party 2006 compilation is a collection of recordings of the bands which are to give their performances during the 13th edition of Castle Party Festival.
