Their return also marks a shift in lineup, expanding from a trio to include founding member <strong>Daryl Atkins<\/strong> and Icelandic composer <strong>Bjarni<\/strong> <strong>Biering<\/strong>, signalling a new creative era.<\/p>\n<p>From vocalist\/guitarist <strong>Andrew Groves<\/strong> on the reformation, <em>\u201cwhen we disbanded the band in 2018, it was always with the understanding that we could return one day under better circumstances. Founding drummer <strong>Daryl Atkins<\/strong> &amp; myself had long been looking for a way to continue creating together, after him needing to leave <b>ARCANE ROOTS <\/b>in 2015. Our busy work schedules had other plans however and it wasn\u2019t until a chance meeting with Icelandic composer <strong>Bjarni<\/strong> <strong>Biering<\/strong>, after relocating to Iceland in 2019, that we struck upon the unlikely songwriting partnership that we have today. Within a short time we felt we had something to share and began to set the stage to see if this could become the supergroup we\u2019d all dreamed of. We\u2019re still exploring that to this day, that excitement &amp; challenge commands absolutely everything we do and it feels completely limitless right now.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Listen to A Wave, Across The Sea here:<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"jeg_video_container jeg_video_content\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Arcane Roots - A Wave, Across The Sea (Official Visualiser)\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/Sm3IfsTPHAU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p><strong>ARCANE ROOTS<\/strong> have also been confirmed for two exclusive festival appearances in 2026.
