“The Arvik” project was officially born in 2021 in Piacenza (Italy), when Marcello Lega, Riccardo Demarosi and Riccardo Lovotti decided to join forces after years of working together in rock/metal bands. The name of the band is a reference to Inuit culture, specifically “Arvik” is the name of the bowhead whale.
The goal was to create a band with Dark-SynthWave electronic sounds, making the most aggressive soul of the various musical personalities that make up the band the protagonist.
In a few months the first two singles followed: “Stones and tears” and “DAMN,” preceding the release of the first album “Bowhead tales” in late 2023.
Through a live set enriched by visuals projected on old CRT televisions, synthesizers and drum machines, The Arvik presents itself as an immersive audio-visual experience, ready to immerse you in a sci-fi imaginary.
