Biography
[edit | edit source]Arch Echo formed in 2016 while its members attended the Berklee College of Music.[1] They have released three studio albums: Arch Echo (2017), You Won’t Believe What Happens Next!

Style and influences
[edit | edit source]New Noise Magazine described Arch Echo's style as "instrumental prog metal that recalls the classics (Steve Vai, Dream Theater) in sheer speed and general wankery (in a good way), mixed in with riff-based djent (Animals as Leaders, Periphery), along with the more hip-shaking, jazzy style that’s been popular of late (Polyphia, Plini)."[1] Other influences include Rush, Allan Holdsworth,[4] Cynic, and Meshuggah.[6]
