POSTS STORIES REELS

To all of our fans,
 With a heavy heart, I’m sad to inform you all that Arcaydium is going on an indefinite Hiatus.

Thank you for all of your support over the last 4 years, you are the reason we kept on going and we are eternally grateful for every memory we have shared with you. Thank you for coming out to our shows, spreading the word, sharing our music and being a part of our family. I will cherish those moments for the rest of my life.  

Changes in our personal lives have made it too difficult for us to continue the project, but rest assured we will all still be making music.

Corrado is still rocking out with his band “ Mercury Messiah”, Dan is in multiple projects around the city, and Chris has been releasing music under his moniker “free real estate”, in which he’s been collaborating with multiple artists around the city as well. Michael is still jamming and writing alot, working with hip hop producers as well.

 Chris and Dan are starting up a new project, so keep your eyes peeled for updates and announcements on that.

We want to say a special thank you to everyone who has helped us out over the years, and been a part of the Arcaydium family.

Tom Shemerr for producing and recording the band, and helping us bring our vision to light.

Aaron Loveday for creating our amazing artwork over the years

Gary Johnston for helping us get on our feet in the early days of the band with his time and guidance, while also booking us countless shows.

Previous members

Rodrigo ramos , who recorded the drums with us for our EP and single, and rocked out on drums with us at countless shows and festivals.

Daniel Charbonneau, who founded the band with us and played drums at our earliest shows

Gregory Ghallgher, who played lead guitar at countless shows, recorded on our EP and helped write and record “Sun’s still shining”

Matthew Couillard who recorded lead guitar on our first single “Flying”, while also writing with us and playing countless shows.
Matthew Flood for playing keyboards in the band during the early days of the group

To all the photographers, the promoters, the bands who shared the stage with us,
Thank you for the memories

1 year. It has been a full year since we last stepped on stage to play music for you beautiful people. that wonderful night wirh our friends in @wisertimes_ at @bar_lesco will forever be in my heart.

Words cannot describe how hard it has been for us to live without live music. We cant wait to get back out there, and see you all dancing and rocking out.

Heres some shots from our last show, we'll see you all at the next one🥰

Words cannot describe how much I long to play live music again. The feeling of stepping up onto that stage and experiencing music with a room full of people is beyond comparison. This has been the hardest period of time in our lives, but we will get through it.

Live music will return, and you better believe it we will never take it for granted again

Here's a picture of better times,

Stay safe out there, we can't wait to share new music with you all and play for you again

Love,
Chris
