Bio
Arctic Dreams is an international metal band based in Serbia and Germany, working in their own studio Arctic Sonic Wave
Since our formation in 2009, we has crafted a unique sound we call "Arctic Metal" blending heavy metal, classical music, and electronic gothic elements into an evocative and immersive musical experience.
Our band features a diverse lineup of talent:Aleksandr [Alex_Y] Järvinen (vocal/guitars/bass-guitar/music/lyric), the founder and creative force;Igor [Sydius] Pokatilov (back-vocal/guitars), a virtuoso guitarist and experimental composer;Gennady [GENA] Zupahin (bass-guitar/guitars), a multi-instrumentalist and bass guitarist with a huge experience for sound engineering; Nenad [NENAD] Krpešić (guitars/keyboards), a talented composer and guitarist; and Roman [ASCET] Dubrovin (drums), a drummer with power-metal influences.
Together, we bring a fusion of eclectic influences, from classical and dark-electro to jazz and progressive metal.
Known for our creative storytelling and atmospheric compositions, our project Arctic Dreams has been steadily gaining momentum with recent releases like Frozen Little Beings and Storm. Looking ahead, we are preparing to release our highly anticipated full-length album in 2025, with drums already recorded and a series of singles lined up.
With plans for live performances and fresh material, we invites fans to join our journey through our official resources.
Our story began in the distant 2009, when three of usAleksandr [Alex_Y] Järvinen (vocal/guitars/music/lyric), Igor [Sydius] Pokatilov (back-vocal/guitars), Sergey [Glam_Dickens] Dik met in the gloomy city on the Neva.
It was the end of winter, beginning of spring, it was damn cold and windy.
We were young, but even then we were striving to do something different from other styles of heavy music.
We experimented a lot with our favorite metal and not less favorite electronic gothic and industrial. And not without Vivaldi, Beethoven and Mozart.
We rehearsed, thought and experimented long and hard. Finally, in the fall of the same year we came to the recording studio to create our debut demo.
We can't find it in our archives now, but it was a wild mix of industrial metal and dark electro, inspired by Deathstars, Dope Stars Inc and The CNK.
After the record, we played one or two shows and our activity stalled for many years.
Nevertheless, the material for this project was written without ceasing, as well as creating our musical concept, which we can please you with today.
The recording of our debut album "And The Agony Has Started" started in 2014.
We recorded drums and bass pretty quickly, but then began a very long search for our sound.
During this time, we came to the realization that we needed to build our own recording studio.
So our Arctic Sonic Wave Recording Studio was created, where we already recorded the final guitars, vocals and orchestral instruments.
All along the way, we have overcome a huge number of obstacles and challenges.
But now you can dive into our universe!
Welcome!
