"ARCHEGONOI" (Greek for Ancient-Born) is a return to ARRAYAN PATH's original sound; a sound clearly resulting from the band members' passion for heavy metal music, their influences and life experiences in general. It's also a result of that ancient spirit lurking about in their minds, guiding and directing the song-writing to a specific... path, one that the band members are more than pleased to follow.
The new album is somewhat of a concept album, not in the sense of a story being told from start to finish but one that derives its themes from the same "pool" of ancient-born ideas and influences related to the ancient world and more particularly to ancient Greece. Ancient Greece after all has always played an integral role in the band's history.
