Using the cinematic universe of Frank Herbert’s Dune as a creative foundation, Canada’s Sons Of Arrakis define their sound as melange rock/cinematic sci-fi rock. Blending raw, riff-driven rock with storytelling, atmosphere and evolving sonic landscapes, Sons Of Arrakis is preparing to release the full-length »Volume III« on January 22, 2027, via Black Throne Productions. The new single »Rise Of Disaster«, featuring guest vocals by Luc Bourgeois (Sandveiss), provides a first glimpse of the forthcoming album.

“»Rise Of Disaster« deals with war, manipulation and the way fear, suffering and collective trauma can be exploited by political and economic powers.” the band explain. “One of the major influences behind the lyrics was Naomi Klein’s »The Shock Doctrine« and its examination of how moments of crisis can be used to impose new forms of control.

The recurring question ‘Whose side are you on?’ deliberately has no simple answer. It reflects the pressure to choose between competing narratives while the same cycle of violence, destruction and retaliation continues underneath them.”

Musically, »Rise Of Disaster« evokes a dark soundscape. Urgent, heavy rhythms inject movement and momentum into the track’s verses while the melodic choruses provide a contrasting and uplifting quality. Returning to the gloom, »Rise Of Disaster« ends with a chaotic instrumental finale.
