Hey everyone! Welcome to the Pozible page for Arcane's 3rd album, "Known/Learned"!

A little info about us: "Arcane" are a totally self-funded, self-produced, independent Prog Rock band from Brisbane, Australia.

For nearly a decade, we've been making the music we love, and touring Australia sharing it with whoever will listen.

So far we've had two full-length releases, "Ashes" and "Chronicles of the Waking Dream". Both of these albums have had an amazing response from lovers of prog rock and metal in Australia, and all around the world.

But enough about us, lets talk about why we're all here!

We have been quiet for 5 years, constructing our 3rd release: "Known/Learned". It is a double disc, 16 track, 120 minute monster of an album. It is without a doubt our finest achievement, and we can't wait to share it with you.

The writing process is complete - we're well into pre-production and we're itching to hit the studio for the 3rd time! But...

An output of this much music comes with overheads. Because there's hilariously little money in 23 minute long songs, we're offering a chance for you guys to take part in the process. Right here, using Pozible, we ask that you help us - our target is $10,000 over 60 days - this is only a portion of our budget, which will be used to cover our studio and mix engineer, and mastering costs.

We've got plenty of awesome rewards in exchange for your pledge, from the album itself, to guitar lessons, and hell, if you've got a spare $10,000 lying around I (Jim) will literally tattoo you or your organisation's name on my arm. 

Doesn't matter how much you pledge: whether its $1 or $10,000 you'll get a personal thank you through our Facebook page, and we'll keep you in the loop with how this project is progressing. So get pledging!

Help us make this album a reality - making music is our pride and joy. You can be a part of that. Please feel free leave us a question or comment (we could use the encouragement!), and don't hesitate to share this bad boy around. We'll need all the help we can get!

With love and thanks,

Jim Grey (Vocals) and Arcane

PS: Here's a music video for "The Seer" - the single from our 2nd album, "Chronicles of the Waking Dream" - Enjoy!
