BIOGRAPHY:
Based in Northern Italy, ARAPHEL was formed by Santo in mid-2021, currently including former members of underground veteran bands.
Musically, ARAPHEL stands within the epic and solemn forms of Black Metal, rooted in both the Mediterranean and Scandinavian metal tradition, channelled through a distinctive sound firmly grounded in Heavy Metal.
The band is currently delivering powerful and uncompromising live performances to promote its latest album, "The Endchanter".
ARAPHEL is actively seeking new gigs and festival opportunities.

ARAPHEL REFLECTS UPON MAN.
HIS DEMONS, HIS SUFFERING, HIS SURGES OF PRIDE.
IN AN AGE OF FRAGMENTATION AND POLARIZATION, IT CHOOSES AUTHENTICITY.
IN A LANDSCAPE OF CLONES AND AUTOMATA,
IT ASSERTS A PERSONAL AND CRITICAL VOICE,
INDEPENDENT EVEN IN SOLITARY, EVEN IN MISUNDERSTANDING.
ARAPHEL PLAYS BLACK METAL.
