Texas 4-piece metalcore act Circa Arcana from El Paso Texas bring forth a mixture of melodic aggressive vocals, bouncy breakdowns and hard-hitting riffs. Led by members Johny Serna (guitar), Frankie Loya (drums), Federico Corral (bass), and Kevin Cangas (vocals) the band released their first single “ESOTERIC” on Jan. 2021. Touching on the struggles of overcoming one’s personal demons, “ESOTERIC” led the way to the bands second single which enfolded a darker concept within the band. “THE TOWER” released in June of 2021 touched on the ideas of sanity vs madness, death and the occult. Encompassing a blend of influences from metalcore, post-hardcore, and nu metal acts, Circa Arcana have defined their sound to give the listener a nostalgic yet new variation of sound so often repeated in the metal music scene. The band’s first EP titled “Bridget Vīgintī” (which title derives from the name of the first “witch” burned during the “Salem Witch Trials” and the Latin number “20”, symbolic for the number of “witches” burned during the trials) is set for release on February 18th 2022.
