Infusing a visceral heavy metal sound with the anthemic spirit of stadium rock, American band ARKANGELA is a unique band that uses contrast to convey passionate, high-energy music aimed at the listener’s mind and heart, with the live show to match. 

​

Originally formed and coordinated by frontman and songwriter Ryan Azel at the age of 13, the band's public career begins in 2015 with the release of the "LIMBO" EP (produced by Matthew Amelung), and have since established themselves in the St. Louis and adjacent midwest and coastal hard rock and metal scenes, sharing the stage with many popular and like-minded acts, such as Avatar, Wednesday 13, and Escape The Fate, along the way.

​

Beginning a new music cycle in 2020, the band released their first single “Take It To Your Grave”, a song about weaponized political polarity. In 2021, they produced and released their first full-length album "Tempus Deserta", a record about celebrating life through the acceptance of death and finding your meaning in the world.

In 2024, the band released "All Souls Final", a part cover, part original EP that centers around the contrast between fame, sacrifice, trauma, and the art of letting go. 

 

Setting their sights forward, Arkangela now aims to push the duality at the heart of their art to its fullest extent, both on record and on stage.
