Arkaea is an metal band formed in 2008 featuring members from Threat Signal and Fear Factory.
Formation
The band was formed by Christian Olde Wolbers and Raymond Herrera (formerly of Fear Factory) who had recorded a demo for a new band. They sent the demo to Threat Signal vocalist Jon Howard and Arkaea was spawned. They tried to obtain Sam Rivers for bassist, who was all for it but then decided to back down due to location. Ryan Martinie of Mudvayne then offered his services for the album but it was felt it would be too difficult for another bassist to replicate his unique basslines live as he could not tour due to Mudvayne commitments. After some time spent searching for the perfect bassist, another Threat Signal member, Pat Kavanagh, was finally chosen. Their debut entitled Years in the Darkness was set to be released on March 3, then March 10 but was not released until July 14, 2009, selling roughly 980 units in its first week. Half of the songs that appear on the album were originally intended to be for a possible new Fear Factory album. In addition to a 5 minute long sampler the band posted the opening track "Locust" on their Myspace.

Years In The Darkness
by: ArkaeaDispose of the ashes that were left behind.
Awaken to a world where choice is to decide.
I'm falling through the ground where feeble minded lay.
Deception of the mind confused by what they say.
I will not revise (will not revise),
I will not confine (will not confine),
I am not the lie (am not the lie).
Rise above and take them with us.
Implant the new virus in those who will infect.
Denial shining through it's this you must neglect.
Divide from all the rest and choose what life to lead.
A damaged life reborn now it's time to see.
I will not revise (will not revise),
I will not confine (will not confine),
I am not the lie (am not the lie).
Rise above and take them with us.
As the world falls down you will come with us.
We must all learn how to wake up and change this now.
As the world falls down you will come with us.
We must all learn how to wake up and change this now.
Entrust the hourglass and see what lies ahead.
We breed for the machine and serve until we're dead.
Apologize for what lives that have been taken.
Another paradox soon we will awaken.
I will not revise (will not revise),
I will not confine (will not confine),
I am not the lie (am not the lie).
Rise above and take them with us.
As the world falls down you will come with us.
