Arkon’s self-titled debut album released with the Doom Symphony label, a division of Underground Symphony Records specializing in doom metal and similar.

Arkon come from Sardinia (Italy) and offer theirs a powerful, arcane and evocative sound, between traditional doom and NWOBHM-style heavy metal. All reworked thanks to the thousand-year-old culture of the island to which they belong, which emerges above all from the folk horror-inspired texts, all strictly in the Sardinian language, in which they tell of myths, demons, fairies and rural archaic rituals of Sardinia.
