The Total Sound Of The Undergound

Lelahel Metal

Join us as we delve into the evolution of ARVO, a one-man atmospheric melodic dark metal project, with its creator, Voron, exploring music, art, and personal expression.

1. Can you share the journey of ARVO from its inception in 2011 to becoming a one-man project in 2020? What inspired this transition?

Voron began venturing into the dark realm of music in 2011, mastering the guitar as his primary instrument. After participating in various metal bands, a one-man-project was started in 2020 to realise author's own musical ideas. In addition to music, the founder of the project paid a lot of attention to the visual side of creativity, perfecting himself in photography, artwork and tattooing. So far full-length albums have been realised. The plans are to further develop and create new forms of dark music and artwork.

2. Your music is described as atmospheric melodic dark metal with black metal roots and rock influences. How do you blend these diverse genres to create your unique sound?

I like different genres of music and I try to take the essence from them. It happens organically, on its own. That's how I feel about music. 

3. Can you talk about your creative process when composing new music? Do you start with a specific concept in mind or let the music evolve naturally?

I usually improvise in a certain mood. Often the drum beat, the groove, gives birth to riffs and ideas. I never really thought about it. 


4. You've mentioned the importance of the visual aspect of your art. How do your skills in photography, artwork, and tattooing influence and complement your music?

I often imagine what the visuals for a particular piece of music would look like. 

5. What are some of the themes and stories you explore in your lyrics and compositions? How do these reflect your personal experiences or worldview?

Undoubtedly, I am expressing my life experience in music, my aesthetic taste and my own understanding of what my work should represent.

6. As a one-man project, how do you manage the different aspects of music production, from songwriting and recording to mixing and mastering?

For many years I have been used to working alone. This is the most comfortable option for me. It does not present any difficulties for me. 

7. What are some of the challenges and advantages of being a solo artist compared to being part of a band?

The essence of this project is loneliness. A lone creator. I don't need other participants to realise my own ideas. 

8. How has your musical style and approach evolved over the years, and what can fans expect from your upcoming releases?

Expect my music to evolve naturally. It's hard to say where this path will lead.

9. Can you share any memorable experiences or milestones that have significantly shaped ARVO's journey so far?

I was looking for a way to get out of stress and I found the solution in creativity. My music is a kind of psychotherapy for me. I'd be glad if it helps someone else.


10. What are your future plans for ARVO in terms of new music, collaborations, or artistic projects? How do you envision the evolution of your sound and visual art?

I plan to release a full-length album, it is already ready, all that remains is to finish the cover and I am preparing a video clip
