Aarlon is an Indian alternative/metalcore band formed in 2017. The band's lineup consists of Ritwik Shivam (guitar), Piyush Rana (guitar), Ankit Ganguly (bass) and Pritam Adhikary (vocals). The band writes in Hindi and their soundscape is characterized by a melancholic blast of metalcore with post-rock touches. They utilize melancholic clean vocals and wrathful screams which lay on a vast bed of power chords and reverb-soaked synthesizers.
Lyrically, Aarlon has a penchant for delving into the dark psyche and hopelessness of the human condition and laying it bare for self-reflection. The vocal melodies carry extremely strong resolve and contain just the right amount of variety. The songwriting has everything a metal/rock listener will find familiar.
“Aarlon is without a doubt the best metalcore band I have heard in years” ~ Rob Chapman
