Dafan

Dafan is an eight-track-long album. A tasteful blend of melancholy and rage. It successfully features elements of hard-rock, metalcore, indie, and alternative, amongst other variations. It is a 35 minute journey through the gamut of emotions a human being can experience in his lifetime shackled in the cages of a capitalist society. Though there is not one central theme, the dark realities of a human soul have been laid down bare. The album represents a confession or (at times) a suicide note stripped from any censorship or restraint. It creates a soundtrack to the explorations of the human condition and its dark psyche. Melancholia and an unexplainable nostalgia strongly persist and become the vibe of the record. It's got a beautifully assembled, reliably high-caliber songwriting which sheds light on angst and melancholy. “Dafan”(2022) was covered in the MetalHammer Magazine. “Aarlon brings an absurd amount of range and talent on this album, boasting brilliant ballads, ferocious drops, and a vocal command that leaves me in awe. Their drive to bring an understanding to Metal and Alt Rock in more than a sense of noise to their own community is not only expressed in their music but, in their willingness to push forward and perform a brilliant array of skill, talent, and creativity that’s astonishing to be a part of” ~ Noob Heavy.

“Aarlon is without a doubt the best metalcore band I have heard in years” ~ Rob Chapman
