Biography

Arachnes formed back in 1995 when Caruso brothers (Enzo/Vocals and Franco/Guitars) decided to give up their hard-rock project Firehouse in order to start a brand new musical-concept with lots of different influences and more oriented to the virtuoso-approach of guitars and arrangements. Their trade-mark sound originates from an incredibly wide range of influences, going from Deep Purple and Led Zeppelin to Yes, Miles Davis, Bach and Chopin to name a few.
The first step in their career was the debut album THE GODDESS TEMPLE, released through the italian label Lucretia Records in 1997, followed by the mini-CD METAMORPHOSIS, this time on Underground Symphony.
After the release of Metamorphosis the band took a break and changed the line-up a few times. New bass and drum players were added and the guys started to search for a new record-label in order to get a bigger exposure especially outside of Italy.
Arachnes finally signed a deal with Scarlet Records and started the working process for PARALLEL WORLDS. This is the beginning of the music-style evolution/revolution, building up more direct songs with lots of great power-speed riffing and an additional epic feeling, provided by choirs and orchestral hints. Especially Frank s guitar moves between neo-classical and jazz influences, giving Arachnes something unique and far from the usual standards. Parallel Worlds got excellent reviews around the world and for the band was the real breakthrough.
The 3rd album, APOCALYPSE, was the first musical concept written by the band. The sound was even more mature and offered the same crystal technique both in melody and aggression. Caruso brothers worked on the production themselves. They recorded and mixed the album proving to be one of the finest musicians from Italy. Apocalypse got enthusiastic feedback also in Japan, where the top-metal label Avalon/Marquee released the album with a bonus track titled Epilogue. But since now, everyone considers PRIMARY FEAR, Arachnes 4th album, as the best one: incredibly intense, with powerful and aggressive guitars, great melodies and extraordinary guitar solos. Like the previous album, Primary Fear was released in Japan by Avalon/Marquee with the addition of some bonus tracks.
In 2006 the new release of Arachnes, 5th studio-album, IN PRAISE OF SCIENCE, already described by Caruso brothers as another big step forward in order to combine hard rock and progressive edges with brilliant symphonic atmospheres.
In 2008 Frank started with the new solo project STRINGS 24 and publish two album with the band: the first album STRINGS 24 for Lion music (2009) and the new album SPEAK for Videoradio/SELF (2011).
In 2011 ARACHNES published the new album A NEW DAY with the European top label LION MUSIC. The album is avaible on I-tunes and the major digital store. It‘s also avaible a physical copy of the cd in LIMITED EDITION on globalsoundnet.com for EUROPE AREA or on guitar9.com for AMERICA and AUSTRALIA.
