Arkive track playlist started..

A selection of tracks from the arkive will be uploaded to our youtube channel playlist here:

Lost Ark - Arkive

The very first Lost Ark recording has been uploaded, from 1999 - along with an early remix of this project too.  More to come and a lot of it too (much of it thought previously lost for good). 

I've been having a break from The Primus Impunctus, whilst I have been sorting through very old files.  That said the bare bones of about half of the associated tracks are in place.  Lots of work to do still so no news on when any new material will appear just yet.

FORWARD AND BACK

Along with continuing production on The Primus Impunctus album (which is going well), I will be uploading some tunes from the Lost Ark vault (ie. prior to World Beneath the Decks) to my YouTube channel.

This can be found here:

The Primus Impunctus

It's always fun to be working on brand new material.  The Primus Impunctus is coming along nicely.  It's far too early to think about when a release might be likely - certainly nothing before the end of the year.

Tracks that may make the final cut are:

1) Hey Baby, You're Gonna Make it!
2). Set in Stone
3). Lost in the Snow
4). Prime
5). Feathers
6). Everything Came to Nothing
7). Blood Trail
8). Who Lives at the Top of the Bright Tower?
9). A Fallen Angel, Weeping
10) The Downside
11). A Rose in Winter
12). Rue the Day
13). The Other Warlock
14). Endurance
15). Terror
16). Ascension
17). The Jump
18). Indeterminate
19). They Say Welcome Aboard & Then Make You Walk the Plank!
20). Unexpected Exit
21).  Oh, It's Just Another Day
22) Clear Your Mind
23). Civilization woz 'ere
24) The Walkthrough


More news and perhaps demo clips later this year.

Album 4

Work has commenced on the next Lost Ark album, which will be called The Primus Impunctus. 

It's very early days so no release date in sight for now.  It is not likely to be this year but I do hope to release something before the year is out - perhaps a single or two from the album, if ready. 

The new album will be a follow on to Flight from Erebus and function as a soundtrack to the other side of that world.  So expect something a bit different.

I'm also hoping to work with past collaborators too, so hopefully there'll be a few returning crew too.

Time permitting, I also realise it's high time album 1 aka Territorial got an overhaul and proper release.  It's been something I have wanted to revisit for a while but have not been able to commit the time to so far. 

Anyway, happy new decade folks and more news to come in due course. 


CQ.

Charon will not answer your questions, mortal.


Work will begin on Lost Ark phase 4 in the new year.  More news on that then. 


Yours eternally,

Five Rivers and beyond!

The final extension and the way out of Erebus is coming soon.



After this, it will finally be time to flip to the other side and see what lays beyond.
