ARDUINI/BALICH is the result of two very powerful figures in their own right of the metal scene. Victor Arduini is a founding member/guitarist of FATES WARNING and recently FREEDOMS REIGN. Brian Balich is the almighty voice of ARGUS as well as vocalist for MOLASSES BARGE and formally of PENNANCE. Victor began writing new music after Freedoms Reign ended their promotional tour. "I wanted to really challenge myself again with the writing process and push the boundries of my progressive past with my current love of doom styled metal. This is more of a solo effort of music adding the incredible vocals and lyrics of Brian into the mix which can only be described as a Doom Laden Progressive Wall Of Metal. We were anxious to let people know of our collaboration and decided to release a song early to get some interest going. Currently all the music is recorded and we will be putting down the vocals over the next few months hoping for a Spring 2016 release. The first release "FOREVER FADE" is a straight forward chugging and charging onslaught of power of both music and voice. I can only describe the rest of the CD as songs that musically go in all directions, all time changes and moods. It contains some very dark heavy pieces of music and intricate arrangements that blend our two worlds together. It is very progressive at times and should please many hard core fans of both of us
