Russian melodic death metal band with Soviet sci-fi movie soundtrack approach. After two well-received albums of catchy uptempo melodic thrash-death metal the band decides to step aside from the beaten path and explore new grounds. This exploration turns into a breathtaking journey through space and time. ARCANUM SANCTUM finds its source of inspiration in the past. It's not a secret that things we encounter as kids leave the deepest traces in our souls. Born at the end of a so-called Golden Age of Space exploration, the musicians caught its echoes in the form of sci-fi books, movies, cartoons and associated soundtracks popular in their childhood. Still exciting and inspiring for the band, this theme determines the new direction its music takes on the upcoming album. ARCANUM SANCTUM is formed in October 2004 in Komsomolsk-on-Amur (Russia).
