Ghost Arcadia, the London-based powerhouse of rock, makes a triumphant return with their first single in over a year, “UNDER.” Dropped last month, this track is an electrifying dive into emotional catharsis, blending anthemic rock grandeur with a raw, visceral edge. It’s a song that wears its ambition on its sleeve, delivering a colossal sound that refuses to hold back.
From the moment the first notes hit, “UNDER” grabs you with thunderous guitar riffs that feel like tectonic plates shifting beneath your feet. Reuben Beau Davies’ vocals are a dynamic force—oscillating between hauntingly harmonic melodies and primal, guttural intensity. Add to that some soaring, cinematic synths, and you have a track that feels as atmospheric as it is bone-crushingly heavy. While there’s a polished, pop-inflected sheen to the production, the core of this song is unapologetically fierce—heavy as hell and unapologetically authentic.
Lyrically, “UNDER” takes listeners on a deeply introspective journey. The band describes the track as a reflection on the internal battles we all face, from addiction to self-doubt. It’s a message of resilience and hope, a reminder that even in our darkest moments, there’s a way to rise above. “Sometimes, we must dive into our darkest depths before we can finally find a way out,” the band shares, and the song captures that sentiment with gripping intensity.
Serving as a tantalizing preview for their upcoming EP, What We Become, due later this year, “UNDER” sets the bar sky-high. Ghost Arcadia proves once again that they’re not just making music—they’re crafting anthems for the soul. Don’t just listen—feel it. This is the sound of a band fully in their element, ready to conquer.
