They are on their way to becoming the biggest & best metal band in the world. 2008 - February 2009 Arkaik is on the brink of being signed Their new Promo EP is finished (Jan 2009) and is getting the attention it deserves. With the addition of Craig Peters on guitar & Keith Roylance on drums Arkaik is truly complete. 2007 - 2008 Arkaik is poised to explode again so get your eardrums ready. Their new CD - Existential Chaos was released on March 9, 2007 with Jared doing the drumming AND the lead vocals -- It will melt your face... With Ryan Smith as drummer Jared can focus full force on his vocals while Eric Cohen plays the bass like no other. BIO from 2004-2006: Jared & Chance played on a Little League team in elementary school but didn't become friends until later. They started hanging out in middle school. Jared & Chance started playing guitars together in 6th grade. Matt & Chance started hanging out in 8th grade. Matt didn’t start playing drums until about 2004, he rode motorcycles & wake boarded a lot. At Chance’s urging Matt bought a set of drums and Matt picked playing right away. Chance, Jared, and Matt started playing as a band in mid 2004. They became Arkaik in July, 2004. Dylan, the bass player, joined Arkaik in late 2004. The first lead singer was Greg Leach who joined the band in early 2005. He helped Arkaik win the first 2 Showcase showdowns in January & February 2005. During this busy time the band went into the studio to start recording their first demo. It became apparent that Greg’s voice just wasn’t going to get stronger and he had to leave the band. Jared took over the lead vocals with Chance doing backup. In May 2005 Arkaik won their 3rd Showcase Showdown to take home the prize with Jared handling the lead vocals with great skill. In their own words: “Arkaik is blindingly fast-paced, catchy riffs, high energy rhythms, and groove-laden music. We try to mix all styles of the metal genre into our own style. We hope that our fans enjoy our music as much as we do.” Arkaik is planning to dominate the west coast, the United States and then the world. In July 2005 drummer Matt decided to pursue other goals and he left Arkaik. Undaunted, Chance & Jared put out a call for a new drummer & the spot was quickly filled by young & talented Nick vodrey. Nick has the ability to pull off fast blast beats, speedy double bass & has chops. Unfortunately, Nick encountered some personal issues & had to leave the band. Dylan decided to form his own band and left as well. In about August 2005 Chance & Jared auditioned a guitarist they had heard about and decided that Justin would be the new lead guitarist of Arkaik. Chance now does backup lead & rhythm. In November the guys were able to add a new drummer. Jimmy Harris took this position and fit right into Arkaik. In about Late November 2005 Arkaik submitted their 2nd EP CD, Prolific Apocalypse to the Inland Empire Music Awards and in December were notified that they have been nominated with 4 other bands in the Best Alternative catagory. Changes that took place within Arkaik in 2006. Jimmy Harris has been replaced by Jared who has taken over the drums. Justin moved out of state so Chance took over the lead guitar position once again. Newcomers: Mark Barela joined taking the lead vocals and then faded off into oblivian. Eric Cohen joined up and will now be the bass player. 2007 - Arkaik is in continual evolution. Joining the band in the Spring of 07 is Ryan Smith who took over the drums leaving Jared able to focus strictly on the vocals. And in late September '07 Craig Peters joined to add a 2nd guitar to the mix and then decided to leave the band in January 2008. He will make an appearance as a session guitarist on the upcoming recording slated to start in March or April 08.
